PE'RA (πήρα). A scrip or wallet, made of leather and slung by a strap over the shoulder; used by travellers, rustics, mendicants, and the cynic philosophers in imitation of them, to carry provisions and other necessaries. (Phaedr. iv. 9. Senec. Ep. 91. Mart. vi. 53.) The illustration (Pera/1.1) represents a peasant with his staff and scrip (baculo et pera) from a marble at Ince-Blundell.
