Clothes, jewellery & make-up

The Roman poet Ovid's description of a beauty make-up face pack for women.

Let me show you how, when you first awake in the morning, your face can be bright and fresh. Take imported Libyan barley, strip off its outer husk and chaff, measure tow pounds of stripped grain, and add an equal measure of vetch steeped in ten raw eggs. Let this mixture dry in the air, then have your donkey grind it slowly…
(Ovid, On facial treatment for ladies, 51-8)
