Illustrated Companion to the Latin Dictionary/Palliatus

From Wikiversity

This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Rich, Anthony (1849). The illustrated companion to the Latin dictionary, and Greek lexicon. p. vi. OCLC 894670115. https://archive.org/details/illustratedcompa00rich. 

PALLIA'TUS. Wearing the Greek pallium; thence, by implication, dressed as a Greek; for the word is opposed in Latin to togatus; that is, to a Roman, whose national costume was the toga. (Plaut. Curc. iii. 2. 9. Cic. Rabir. Post. 9. Suet. Jul. 48. Claud. 15.) The illustration s. PALLIUM and TOGA will at once explain the difference.
