PERISTRO'MA (περίστρωμα). In general any thing which serves as a covering, like the curtains, carpets, and hangings of a room; but more especially a large and loose coverlet customarily spread over a bed or dining couch so as to hang down round the sides, in the manner shown by the annexed illustration (Peristroma/1.1) from the Vatican Virgil. Cic. Phil. ii. 27.
