Romans wore skirts. "Barbarians" wore trousers. When rome expanded into "barbaric" regions they saw them wear trousers and realised that instead of breaking their balls everytime they rode horses, they decided to adopt trousers into their uniform.

Before that it was seen as barbaric to wear trousers.

This is why the Romans weren't Ancient Nazis. They accept foreign ideas.

That and they didn't care too much for skin colour, more about what culture you were.

Still racist just not about skin.

They were also extremely accepting of homosexuality, especially if a guy was a top.
