INDU'TUS (ἕνδυμα). A general term (from induo) for any kind of close garment which a person puts on, or inserts his limbs or body into, as contradistinct from AMICTUS, which is expressive of loose clothing that is wrapped round the body. (Tac. Ann. xvi. 4. Apul. Flor. ii. 9. 1. Ammian. xxx. 7. 4. Compare Cic. Or. iii. 32. Auct. ad Herenn. iv. 47.) It consequently designates any and every of the various kinds of under-garments worn by the ancients, and enumerated in the list of the Classed Index, both of the male and female apparel; and is well illustrated by the annexed figure (Indutus/1.1) from a fictile vase, which represents a female taking off her chemise before entering the bath; showing by the action she employs that the tunica was a round garment taken off and put on over the head, like a modern shirt or chemise.
