History of the Tie
In 113 A.D., one of Rome's greatest Emperors, the military
genius Trajan, erected a marble column to commemorate
a triumphant victory over the Dacians, who lived in
what is now Romania.
The 2,500 realistic figures on the column sport no less
than three different styles of neckwear. These include
shorter versions of the modern necktie; cloth wound
around the neck and tucked into armor; and knotted kerchiefs
reminiscent of cowboy bandannas.
While Roman orators often wore cloths to keep their
throats warm, soldiers did not cover their necks. In
fact, writers such as Horace and Seneca said only effeminate
men covered their necks.
