"Sanxit uti foeminis semitâ viri cederent permisit quoque his purpureâ veste et aureis uti segmentis." It was sanctioned by the senate, you perceive, that men should yield the wall to the sex, in honour, and that they should be allowed the distinction of purple vests and golden borders privileges the female world still enjoy.
