UMBELLA and UMBRA'CULUM (σκιάδειον). A parasol (Mart. xiv. 28.); and an umbrella (Juv. ix. 50.), made, like our own, to open and shut (Aristoph. Eq. 1348.) by being strained upon a number of converging ribs (virgae, Ov. A. Am. ii. 209.), and usually carried by a female slave over her mistress (Mart. xi. 73.), in the manner shown by the illustration (Umbella/1.1), from a fictile vase.
