Popular or common piece of clothing worn in Ancient Rome or Greece. The illustration shows the steps of how to fit a subligaculum around one's waist. The little statue shows a gladiator wearing it. Below is a modern day example of such a garment. Below that is a fresco showing women wearing a female version of a subligaculum. And the last photo shows Steve Reeves wearing one for his HERCULES films.

Thank you for the instruction on this. I never knew any of it before. Poor Hercules. Finally, fighting somebody who can knock him around.
Yes, thanks for the info! As I'm preparing my own amateur peplum film (of a sort) that's very valuable. I hadn't found any instructions on this particular garment, which is a must-have, of course!
Glad you guys enjoyed it.
Richard, once your project is completed make sure to share it :-)
I actually did a peplum genre-inspired film some years ago. It's a take-off on the Gilgamesh myth. It's quite primitive, with passable bluescreen effects, but with decent costumes and lots of stop-motion monsters (which is my main passion). It's in Swedish, but subtitled.
