SPECTRE
species (any appearance; e.g. mortui Apul.): simulacrum vanum (Ov. deceitful appearance): umbra (shadow; e.g. mortui Suet.): larva (disembodied soul as an evil spirit of the night). ☞ Spectrum is not Latin in this sense: εἴδωλον only in the sense of the Stoics: mostellum found only in the second (spurious) argument of Plaut.
