ASCOPE'RA (ἀσκοπήρα). A large bag, or knapsack, made of undressed leather, in which foot-travellers carried their necessaries, as contradistinguished from hippopera, the horseman's saddlebags. (Suet. Nero, 45.) The illustration (Ascopera/1.1) is selected from an ancient fresco painting representing a landscape scene.
