Those who had been waiting in the dank, chill air sought to press in among the horses. It was hard to keep them back. Vergilius, full of his own sorrow, felt for them and gave them good time. A little group, in gray paenula and veils, were watching from without the crowd. He moved aside, beckoning to them. "Make your farewells," said he, as they came near. "We shall be off in a moment."
III. XIV. Cato's Encyclopedia Cicero says that he treated his learned slave Dionysius more respectfully than Scipio treated Panaetius, and in the same sense it is said in Lucilius: -Paenula, si quaeris, canteriu', servu', segestre Utilior mihi, quam sapiens-. IV. XII. Panaetius -Qua vix caprigeno generi gradilis gressio est-.
The old people of Rome were gone; their characteristic dress even was gone; for already in the time of Augustus they had laid aside the toga, and assumed the cheaper and scantier paenula, so that the eye sought in vain for Virgil's "Romanes rerum dominos gentemque togatam."

Nero has many freedmen about him, and though some of these provoke derision by vying with the wealthiest, this I know would never be done by you, even did you bask in the favour of Nero.

The Paenula. The Lacema, with its Cucullus. The Paludamentum. The Sagum, or soldier's jerkin. The Trabea: of which, according to Suetonius, there was three kinds. But what are all these to the breeches? said my father. Rubenius threw him down upon the counter all kinds of shoes which had been in fashion with the Romans. There was, The open shoe. The close shoe. The slip shoe. The wooden shoe.
