A dictionary of Greek and Roman . onable, thatwe cannot but agree with Niebuhr in supposingthat the historian was misled by the custom of hisown time, when a full year had long been the sti-pulated term of a soldiers pay as well as of hisservice. [R. STRATEGUS. STRATEGUS. 1073 STIPULATIO, STIPULATOR. [Obliga-tiones, pp. 817, b, 818, a.] STIVA. [Aratrum.] STOA. [Porticus.] STOICHEION. [Horologium.] STOLA, was a female dress worn over thetunic ; it came as low as the ankles or feet (ad talosstola demissa, Hor. Sat. i. 2. .99), and was fastenedround the body by a girdle, leaving above thebreast broad folds (rugosiorem stola frontem, Mart,iii. 93. 4). The tunic did not reach much belowthe knee, but the essential distinction between thetunic and stola seems to have been, that the latteralways had an Instita or flounce sewed to thebottom and reaching to the instep. (Hor. Sat. i. ; Ovid. Ar. Amat. i. 32.) Over the Stola thePalla or Pallium was worn [Pallium], as we seein the cut annexed. (Mus. Borbon. iii. tav. 37.). The stola seems to have been usually fastenedover the shoulder by a Fibula or clasp, and gene-rally had sleeves, but not always. The Stola was the characteristic dress of theRoman matrons as the toga was of the Romanmen. (Cic. Phil. ii. 18.) Hence the meretriceswere not allowed to wear it, but only a dark-coloured toga (Tibull. iv. 10. 3; Mart. i. 36. 8) ;and accordingly Horace (Sat. i. 2. 63) speaks ofthe matrona in contradistinction to the Forthe same reason women, who had been divorcedfrom their husbands on account of adultery, werenot allowed to wear the Stola, but only the toga(Schol. ad Hor. I. c.) : to which Martial alludes(ii. 39, vi. 64. 4). See Becker, Gallus, vol. i. , &c. STRAGULUM. [Tapes.] STRATEGUS (arrparnyds). The office andtitle of Strategus, or General, seem to have beenmore especially peculiar to the democratic states ofancient Greece: we read of them, for instance, atAthens, Tarentum, S}*racuse, Argos,
