Headword:
*tu/ga
Adler number: tau,1144
Translated headword: toga
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Senatorial dress among Romans.
Greek Original:*tu/ga: para\ *(rwmai/ois sugklhtikh\ e)sqh/s.
Notes:
More exactly 'the principal garment of the free-born Roman male' (OCD(4) s.v.).
The odd form
tu/ga is unique to this passage (and, according to Adler, in the unpublished
Lexicon codicis Barocciani 50); for transliteration with o see e.g.
Dionysius of Halicarnassus,
Roman Antiquities 3.61.1; and note anyway an alternative Greek term for the toga (
tau 464,
tau 465).
