The illustrated companion to the Latin dictionary and Greek lexicon; forming a glossary of all the words representing visible objects connected with the arts, manufactures, and every-day life of the Greeks and Romans, with representations of nearly two thousand objects from the antique. or at leastrectangular, piece of cloth ( Charis, 1. 81.), which when offthe person could be spread out like asheet (Suet. Otho, 2.), but when puton was folded in two and fastened bya brooch {fibula, Varro ap. Non. s. 538., whence sagum Poll. Trig. Tyrann. 10.), ortied in a knot (nodus, and woodcuts. v.) on the top of the left shoulder,the brooch being fixed through oneedge of the drapery at the distance ofabout one third from each of the cor-ners, so that the left arm and sidewere covered and protected, the rightbeing left open and free, while thetwo upper corners fell upon thebreast and arm, and the two lowerones depended before and behind onthe level of the knees, as is plainlyexhibited by the annexed figure,from a bas-relief in the Museum atVerona, representing a lictor in thesagum, which was his appropriatecostume when in attendance upon the governor of a province. (Cic. in ) As the sagum was more es-pecially a military costume, both for. the officers and common soldiers, itwas for that very reason assumed bythe citizens generally instead of thecumbrous and stately toga, in timesof tumult or threatened invasion;whence such expressions as sagasumere— in sagis esse — ad saga ire— are always indicative of turbulentand troubled times or of a state ofactual warfare.
