PELLI'TUS. Clad in fur or skins; a common style of clothing amongst the northern nations, the Greeks of the heroic ages, and Romans of primitive times, and which continued in use at a subsequent period for the peasantry, and others subjected to the exposure of a country life, such as hunters, fowlers, &c. (Liv. xxiii. 40. Ov. Pont. iv. 8. 83. Prop. iv. 1. 11.) Clothing of this nature is frequently met with on works of art in the form of an exomis; but the annexed figure (Pellitus/1.1), representing a fowler from a statue at Naples, wears a tunic, with an amictus over it, both made of fur.
