[21] See articles on mourning customs in the _Bible Dictionaries_,
and, for special studies, Buchler, Zeit. _f. alttest. Wissens._,
1901, pp. 81-92; M. Jastrow, ib., 1907, 117 sqq.; and in _Journ.
Amer. Or. Soc._ xx. 133 Sqq., xxi. 23-39. For the Babylonian evidence
see Zimmern, op. cit., 603. The sculptures of Sennacherib show the
bare-headed and bare-footed suppliants of Lachish meanly clad before
Sennacherib (Ball, p. 192, contrast the warriors with caps and
helmets, ib. p. 190, and on the simple dress, cf. above).

[22] Ezek. xvi. xxiii.; Isa. iii. 16-iv. 1. For the hairy garb, cf.
John the Baptist (Matt. iii. 4); it became the ascete's dress. The
founder of the Jacobite Church in Asia owed his surname
(_Burde'[=a]n[=a]_) to his rough horse-cloth. Here may be mentioned
the archaic revival in Egypt in the 8th century B.C., which also

[24] These ornamental bands are carefully described and reproduced in
colour by A. Lermann, _Altgriechische Plastik_ (1907), pp. 85 ff.,
pls. i.-xx. Some authorities hold that the skirt forms part of the
over-garment, but it seems clear that it belongs to the [Greek:
chiton].

[25] The _tutulus_ was worn at Rome by the _flaminica_.

[26] It was also worn by Roman children.

[27] This seems more likely than the alternative view that it was of
elliptical shape and was folded before being put on. Quintilian (xi.
3, 139. a _locus classicus_ for the _toga_) speaks of it as
"rotunda"; but this need not be taken literally.

[28] The Lares are thus represented in art.

[29] The suffibulum of the vestals, which was fastened on the breast
by a brooch (fibula), was a garment of this sort. The marriage-veil
(flammeum) derived its name from its bright orange colour. The
palliolum was a kind of mantilla.
