SAGA'TUS. Wearing the mantle of coarse woollen cloth, termed sagum, as explained and illustrated under that word; and as the sagum was worn by the military more especially, the word sagatus is frequently opposed to togatus, thereby implying that the individual so equipped is prepared for military duty, or for a violent conflict; in which sense it is nearly equivalent to our expression "in his regimentals." Cic. Fragm. ap. Non. s. Sagum. Capitolin. Marc. Antonin. Philos. 27.

2. Made of coarse long-napped wool; e. g. of the same fabric as the sagum. Columell. xi. 1. 21. Id. i. 8. 9.
