Do You Have Any Good Resources/references/advice For Drawing (late Republican) Roman Clothing? I Want

Do you have any good resources/references/advice for drawing (late republican) Roman clothing? I want to draw a couple of historical figures but thinking about drawing a toga makes me feel like 😖😖😖...

-Costumes of the Greeks and Romans, Thomas Hope

-Greek and Roman Fashions, Tom Tierney

-The World of Roman Costume, ed. Judith Lynn Sebesta and Larissa Bonfante.

-Decorative Symbols and motifs for Artists and Craftsmen/Decorative Patterns of the Ancient World, Dover Publications

-photos & videos from reenactors and reenactment events

-build a screenshot reference library from movies and shows that have costume designs you like, that kind of thing. grab a blanket and wrap yourself up in it toga style and take a photo if you need a specific angle. etc. museums usually have a lot of their galleries online, and places like the met often shoot statues from multiple sides.

Fun fact about me. When I was 11 I wanted to be Cicero so bad. I would read his speeches all the time before bed. I decided to become a lawyer. I won multiple public speaking and mock trial awards. I am now a pre-law student. He's had more influence on my life than anyone alive.

hi. i love everything about this. are you sure you are not possessed by the spirit of cicero

Roman senator who openly likes guys and girls (in fact, he blithely assumes everyone does) but is stunned to realize he's actually in love with his own wife. He's supposed to be stoic, authoritative, and this was a just political marriage but nooo she's so brilliant and objective and knows law better than he does, and if his colleagues knew they would never stop picking on him. How do you ask someone on a date when you're already married?? He is suffering.

(Next room over: Roman senator's wife, who shows love by infodumping and has the people-reading skills of a rock, wonders how to make her sweet but awkward husband notice her.)
