* Togati *

TOGATI - Rom. civ, law. Under the empire, when the toga had ceased to be the usual costume of the Romans, advocates were nevertheless obliged to wear it whenever they pleaded a cause. Hence they were called togati. This denomination received an official or legal sense in the imperial Constitutions of the fifth and sixth centuries, and the words togati, consortium togatorum, frequently occur in those acts.
