Ancient Rome Clothing Size Confusion

I'M BIG, BUT I'M NOT THAT BIG! GET ME A SMALLER SIZE. THAT'S BETTER. ANCIENT ROME WAS A CONFUSING TIME FOR HUSBANDS

The joke is that the size label “L” is mistaken for “large” in the modern sense, while in Ancient Rome it could have signified something confusing for husbands, creating a double entendre about clothing sizes and marital situations.
