This is a Sims 4 approximation of Nicasius as a young man in Neapolis (present day Naples/Napoli, Italy). In Chapter 2, Carpe Noctem, he is 23 years old, not 19 ( but when I made this collage he was meant to be 19). From top left to top right we have: Nicasius' everyday wear (again he'd probably wear a one piece tunic type attire, but they were passionate about skirts as well in Rome for men- and he has great legs), if he ever went to a ceremonial event he has formal armor, and an alternate/slightly more luxurious everyday outfit (dyes are expensive). From bottom left to right we have: Nicasius' roaming outfit (in reality, that would be a full cloak), his party attire (nightly parties only of course), and his bathing/sleep sheet/wrap/whatever you wanna call it.

Some Fun Facts: His full name is "Lucius Aurelius Seius Africanus Antonius Nicasius", but in Roman society people day to day would refer to each other with two or 3 of their names. When they first moved to Neapolis, Nicasius was still going by "Seius Antonius Nicasius". As his parents went on longer and longer trips to Rome and he ventured out into the city, he switched to "Lucius Aurelius" to reduce associations with his father.

In reality, dyed colors were only worn by the top 10% of Roman society and black dyes were not yet in existence, so Nicasius would only be wearing plain white cloth and beige dyes, despite owning some red tunics that were reserved for the very rare times he was allowed to show his lineage.

"Carpe Noctem" is the opposite to the much more well known adage: "Carpe Diem". They are Latin for "Seize the Night" and "Seize the Day".
