FIM'BRIA (θύσανοι, κροσσοί). A fringe, or ornamental border to a piece of cloth (Celsus, ii. 6. Varro, L. L. v. 79.), generally produced by leaving the extremities of the warp threads upon the cloth after it had been removed from the loom (see TELA RECTA); but rich tassels and fringes were sometimes made separately, and sewn on to the fabric at pleasure. Julius Caesar wore them round the wrists of a long-sleeved tunic. (Suet. Caes. 45.) The illustration (Fimbria/1.1) is from a painting at Pompeii.
