‖ abolla|əˈbɒlə|
[referred to a Gr. ἀµβολή for ἀναβολή a throwing back and around; but very doubtful.]
A woollen cloak worn chiefly by the soldiers and lower classes of ancient Rome.
1868Smith Dict. Ant. s.v. The abolla was used by the lower classes at Rome, and consequently by the philosophers who affected severity of manners and life. Hence the expression of Juvenal, facinus majoris abollae—a crime committed by a very deep philosopher. |
