JUDGE COSTUME FOR LOUIS xvi's TRIAL DURING THE FRENCH REVOLTUION?????

Question

In my history class, we are playing the roles of the members of Louis XVI's trial during the French Revolution. My role is the judge and the teacher is giving me a costume to wear. Can anyone come up with any creative ideas to spruce up my costume yet still be fair and unbiased? I want to earn as many points as possible and she gives extra points for creativity.

Answer 1

Doesn't seem like a judge's robes are much to embellish.

Answer 2

Here are 2 drawings of revolutionary courts (trial of Marie-Antoinette). They are a bit small but can get your imagination started.
