Why didn't the Greeks or Romans wear pants?

In 397 AD, pants were declared illegal in the city of Rome. The ban was repeated twice, and dire penalties were threatened against anyone depraved enough to wear trousers in public. This video explains why the Greeks and Romans scorned pants, and surveys the strange and wonderful world of classical clothing along the way.
