ARMILLA'TUS. Wearing an armlet (armilla), an ornament especially characteristic of the Asiatic and some other foreign races; hence a notion of disparagement is commonly conveyed by the word, even when used with reference to those nations (Suet. Nero. 30.), and of severe censure when applied to the Romans, as indicating an unmanly imitation of foreign customs. Suet. Cal. 52. Compare ARMILLA.

2. Armillatus canis. A dog with an armilla or collar round his neck, as in the example (Armillatus/2.1), from a mosaic at Pompeii. Propert. iv. 8. 24.
