amictus (1)

• P. of amicio.

amictus (2) ūs, m

• amicio, a throwing on, throwing around; hence, amictum imitari alicuius, style of dress. — Meton., an outer garment: statuam esse eiusdem, amictus declarat: duplex, of double texture, V.: Phrygius, i. e. the Trojan chlamys, V.—Poet.: nebulae, V.

AMICTUS

AMICTUS, AMIC´ULUM. The Greek words corresponding to amicire and amictus are ἐπιβάλλεσθαι and ἐπίβλημα, to induere and indutus ἐνδύεσθαι and ἔνδυμα. So Pollux, 7.50, speaks of the πέπλος as ἔσθημα διπλοῦν τὴν χρείαν, ὡς ἐνδῦναι τε καὶ ἐπιβαλέσθαι; meaning, that it was used sometimes as an inner garment or χιτών, sometimes as an outer garment or ἱμάτιον. [TUNICA; PALLIUM. ] Hence the verbal nouns amictus and indutus, even without any further specification, denote respectively the outer and inner clothing. (See Verg. A. 3.545, 5.521-Z2, with Conington's notes; Tibull. 1.8, 13; Corn. Nep. Cim. 4, Dat. 3.2; Tac. Ann. 16.4.)

[J.H.O]

Amictus

(ἐπίβλημα). A general term for the outer clothing, as indutus for the under clothing. See Tunica; Pallium.
