Mourners were expected to wear the dress appropriate to the occasion, and to their station; an elite male citizen might wear a "toga pulla" (a "dark" toga, reserved for funerals). If the deceased was a male citizen, he was dressed in his toga; if he had attained a magistracy, he wore the toga appropriate to that rank; and if he had earned a wreath in life, he wore one in death. Wreaths also are found in burials of initiates into mystery religions. After the body was prepared, it lay in state in the atrium of the family home ('), with the feet pointed toward the door, for up to seven days. Other circumstances pertained to those who lived, as most urban Romans did, in apartment buildings (') or to the rural settings where the vast majority of Romans lived and died; but little is known of them. Elite practices are better documented, though likely often retrospective, idealised, speculative and antiquarian, or poetic. Cicero writes that for most commoners, the time between death and disposal was about 24 hours. This would have allowed virtually no time for lying in or other long-drawn ceremony.
