TEGIL'LUM. A very coarse and common kind of hood or cowl (Festus, s. v.), which was used by fishermen, rustics, shepherds, &c., to cover their heads and shoulders in wet weather. (Plaut. Rud. ii. 7. 18. Varro ap. Non. s. v. p. 179.) The illustration (Tegillum/1.1) represents a young fisherman asleep in his hood, from a statue found at Pompeii; and characteristically exhibits the form of the object designated by the term tegillum, which is a diminutive of tegulum, meaning literally a small roof; but it is made of better materials than usually employed for the purpose, if the account of Festus (l. c.) be true, that it was ordinarily composed of rushes.
