ANTIAE. The ringlets of a woman's head of hair, which hang down to the ears from the temples (Festus, s. v. Isidor. Orig. xix. 31. 8.), and likewise the side locks of males, when studiously arranged in the same way from the temples down the sides of the face (Apul. Flor. i. 3. 3.); as in the example, from a small bronze figure found at Herculaneum. The illustration (Antiae/1.1) to ANADEMA shows these ringlets as worn by females, from a Pompeian painting.
