The stola was the traditional garment of Roman women, corresponding to the toga, or the pallium, that was worn by men. The stola was usually woolen.

Originally, women wore togas as well, but after the 2nd century BC, the toga was worn exclusively by men, and women were expected to wear the stola. At that point, it was considered disgraceful for a woman to wear a toga; wearing the male garment was associated with prostitution and adultery.

Typicity

Typicity (French typicité, Italian tipicità) is a term in wine tasting used to describe the degree to which a wine reflects its varietal origins, and thus demonstrate the signature characteristics of the grape from which it was produced, i.e., how much a Merlot wine “tastes like a Merlot”. It is an important component in judging wine competition when wines of the same varietal are judged against each other.

In some countries, such as Austria, typicity is used as part of a qualitative hierarchy that takes into consideration soil, climate and vintage. A similar concept to the French terroir, though slightly less controversial, Austrian Qualitatswein (literally "quality wine") is tested for typicity with the classification printed on the wine label.

As a concept, typicity relies on both historical precedent and a sentiment of what the present day majority view how a certain variety should “taste”. This can be considered a subjective and unreliable way to measure wine, opening the door to elitism with what has been criticized by some, such as Sean Thackrey, as viticultural racism.

So why were Vatta keeping this old scow, and why was it captained by a Vatta family member?

The cargo scows broke up into thousands of robot-guided missiles with Bergenholm drives, polycyclic drills and atomic warheads.

The way things stand right now, we’re both short-handed, and even those scows the Trogs call ships could probably outrun us.

He had just opened a picnic basket and was lifting out a large wedge of Cheshire cheese and a bottle of Cutty Sark when a tug towing three heavily laden trash scows acknowledged him with a passing signal blast from its whistle.

But this garbage scow to the stars gig with the mad doctor in charge had a very bad smell to it.
