REDIMI'CULUM. A long lappel, or fillet attached to the mitra (Isidor. Orig. xix. 31. 5. Virg. Aen. ix. 616.), or any other head-dress of similar character, for the purpose of fastening it under the chin (woodcuts s. MITRA, p. 426.), but the whole of which, when loose, would hang down over the shoulders and breast (Ov. Met. x. 265.), as shown by the annexed figure (Redimiculum/1.1) of Paris, from one of the Pompeian paintings.
