of defense compounds) (Stamp 2004, Barto and Cippolini 2005). A key premise of this hypothesis is that defense is costly. Due to the high structural complexity of defense compounds in sponges it can be assumed that in many cases their biosynthesis is, indeed, metabolically expensive (Paul 1992, Pawlik 1993).
What clothes did the ancient Greeks wear? Ancient Greeks made their clothing from wool or linen and wore heavier clothing in colder temperatures. They fastened their clothing with pins, belts and buttons. Men in ancient Greece wore broad-brimmed hats outdoors, particularly for horseback riding. The chiton was typically made from linen and was a lightweight garment for warmer temperatures. The heavier wool tunic was called a peplos and was floor-length.
Did they wear shoes? The Egyptians often went barefoot, but when they did wear shoes they wore sandals. The wealthy wore sandals made from leather. Poorer people wore sandals made from woven grass. Jewelry Although the clothing of the Ancient Egyptians was simple and plain, they made up for it with elaborate jewelry. Both men and women wore lots of jewelry including heavy bracelets, earrings, and necklaces. One popular item of jewelry was the neck collar. Neck collars were made of bright beads or jewels and were worn on special occasions.
