R'ENO or RHE'NO. A very short cloak (parvis rhenonum tegumentis. Caes. B. G. vi. 21.) which only covered the shoulders and breast as far as the loins and abdomen (Isidor. Orig. xix. 23. 4.), and formed an article of clothing, especially characteristic of the Germans (Sallust. Fragm. Incert. 13. ed. Gerlach.), and of the Gauls (Varro, L. L. v. 167.) It was made out of the rough skin of the reindeer, still called Ren in Swedish, and is frequently seen on the German figures of the column of Antoninus (see the illustrations s. FRAMEA and SUPPLEX); but is also worn by some of the soldiers in the imperial army on the column of Trajan, two of whom, affording a front and back view, have been selected for the illustration (Reno/1.1), because they show the peculiar form and dimensions of the object more distinctly.
