Subligacŭlum

（περίζωμα). The linen bandage worn by the Roman gymnasts while performing their exercises. It was passed round the waist and between the legs. It was originally a loin-cloth and one of the most primitive articles of attire; and afterwards had different forms corresponding with our belt, apron, and drawers respectively. It was also called campestre (Epist. i. 11, 18).
