Calantĭca;

also Calautica (κρήδεμνον). A feminine head-dress of uncertain form, but thought by Rich to signify a sort of covering for the head with lappets hanging down to the shoulders on both sides, and when drawn together concealing the face. The word is sometimes used in the sense of mitra (q. v.).
