practice of naming these two articles of dress together: A. Gell. vi. 10; Plant. Trin. v. 2. 30;
Athen. v. p. 198, c, d, f; Theophrast. Clhar. 21;
St. Matt. v. 40; St. John, xix. 23-25.
But although the pallium and tunica were always regarded as essential parts of an entire dress,
yet each of them might be worn without the other.
Cases in which the tunic was retained and the
blanket laid aside, are explained under the article
NUDUs. It is also evident that the pallium would T 1
not be the most convenient kind of dress when the
wearer of it had occasion to run; and we find that
in such circumstances he either put it away entirely
(Hom. in. ii. 183, Od. xiv. 500) or folded it up
as a Scottish Highlander folds his plaid, and threw
it round his neck or over his shoulder. (Plaut. J J \
Capt. iv. 1. 12, iv. 2. 9; Ter. P/hor. v. 6. 4.)
On the other hand, to wear the pallium without
tile under-clothing indicated poverty or severity of
manners, as in the case of Socrates (Xen. AFiem. i. <
6. ~ 2), Agesilaus (Aelian, V. H. vii. 13), and
Gelon, king of Syracuse. (Diod. Sic. xi. 26.)
The pallium was no doubt often folded about
the body simply with a view to defend it from
cold, and without any regard to gracefulness of appearance. It is thus seen on the persons of Polynices and Parthenopaeus in the celebrated intaglio,
now preserved at Berlin, representing five of the ex lcmoCeris, Virg. A4e. iv. 263), and contributed
heroes who fought against Thebes, and copied on mainly to the production of those dignified and

names of the several heroes are placed beside them sculptures. When a person sat, he often allowed
