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.
Egyptian Clothing For Women. Egyptian women wore full length straight dresses with one or two shoulder straps. During the New Kingdom period it became fashionable for dresses to be pleated or draped. The dresses worn by rich Egyptian women were made from fine transparent linen. Like the men, rich Egyptian women decorated their clothes and wore jewellery and headdresses. Children. Ancient Egyptian children did not wear clothes until they were about six years old when they would wear the same clothes as men and women. Footwear The Ancient Egyptians went barefoot most of the time but wore sandals for special occasions or if their feet were likely to get hurt.
