INDUSIA'TUS. Wearing a frock, like the women's indusium (Apul. Met. ii. p. 33.); a costume which is probably represented on the annexed figure (Indusiatus/1.1), from a bas-relief fo the Florentine Gallery. It did not form a regular part of the male attire, though it was sometimes given to young and effeminate boys who waited at the tables of wealthy or luxurious individuals, for whom recherché style of dress was affected by their masters. It is of such that Apuleius speaks in the passage cited. Comp. Apul. Met. viii. p. 172.

2. Indusiata vestis. Plaut. Epid. ii. 2. 49. Same as INDUSIUM.
