MULL'EUS. A half boot of a reddish or plum colour, worn by the patricians of Rome; not, however, by all of them, but only those who had borne the curule magistracy, a dictator, consul, praetor, censor, or curule aedile. (Cato. ap. Fest. s. v. Vopisc. Aurel. 49. Isidor. Orig. xix. 34. 10.) Some think the mulleus was the same as the calceus patricius (wood-cut s. v. p. 99.); others, that it resembled the calceus repandus, or uncinatus, of which a figure is given on the same page, No. 3.
