COROL'LA (στεφανίσκος). As a general diminutive of CORONA, means any kind of small chaplet or garland (Prop. ii. 34. 59. Catull. 63. 66.); but the word is used in a more special sense to designate a wreath of artificial flowers made out of thin horn shavings, tinged with different colours, to imitate the tints required, and worn in the winter season. Plin. H. N. xxi. 3.
