PARMA'TUS. Armed with the shield termed parma; more especially characteristic of the Roman cavalry and light-armed troops. (Liv. iv. 38.) The annexed example (Parmatus/1.1), from a bas-relief in terra-cotta, compared with the illustration s. CLIPEATUS, will afford a notion of the difference in comparative size and character between the Roman parma and the Greek clipeus, and of the different appearance presented by the men who bore them respectively.
