Periscĕlis

（περισκελίς). An anklet worn by women among the Greeks and Romans. The plebeian women at Rome wore anklets of silver and the patricians anklets of gold (Pliny , Pliny H. N. xxxiii. 39). The purely Latin word is compes (Pliny , l. c.), and Tertullian uses the form periscelium （De Cult. Fem. ii. 13). See Armilla.
