PAE'NULA (φαινόλης). An article of the outer apparel belonging to the class of garments termed vestimenta clausa, or close dresses. It was a round frock, with a hood, and opening at the top for the head, but otherwise entirely closed down the front; or sometimes with a slit reaching half way up from the bottom of the skirt in front, so that the flaps might be taken up and turned over the shoulder, in the manner shown by the right-hand figure in the annexed wood-cut (Paenula/1.1); but in all cases without sleeves, whence those who wore it are said to be entangled, constrained, and, as it were, enclosed in their paenulae (irretiti; adstricti et velut inclusi. Cic. Mil. 20. Auct. Dial. de Orat. 39.). It was worn over the tunic; particularly on journeys, and in the city during very cold or wet weather (Quint. vi. 3. 66. Lamprid. Alex. Sev. 27.); occasionally by women (Quint. viii. 3. 54.); and was either made of cloth with a very thick and long nap (Mart. xiv. 145.), or of leather (Id. xiv. 130.). The illustrations exhibit a front and back view of the article, from statues engraved in the treatise of Bartholini, de Paenula.

2. A particular part of the forcing pump invented by Ctesibius of Alexandria, and called after him CTESIBICA MACHINA, under which its character is illustrated by the part marked D. Vitruv. x. 7.
