[edit | edit source]

BULLA'TUS. Wearing the bulla; which was suspended by a fastening round the neck, so as to hang in front of the breast. It was so worn by Roman children, until they attained the age of puberty, when it was laid aside, together with the praetexta, and dedicated to the tutelary deities of their house. (Scipio Afr. ap. Macrob. Sat. ii. 10. Pers. Sat. v. 31.) The illustration (Bullatus/1.1) is from a bas-relief in terra-cotta, and represents a youth with his tablet at school.
