The druidical priests, who were contemporary with the Romans, were clad in white voluminous robes reaching to the feet. The robe proper was collarless, while the cloak may have been cut somewhat like a Roman toga. The Druid on the right wears an oak garland and carries a sceptre, while the one on the left carries the sacred crescent symbol. Illustration from British Costume during
