PĔRISCĔLIS

A Smaller Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities · 1884 · p. 25
( περισκελίς ), an anklet or bangle, worn by the Orientals, the Greeks, and the Roman ladies also. It decorated the leg in the same manner as the bracelet adorns the wrist and the necklace the throat. The word, however, is sometimes used in the same sense as the Latin feminal i a , that is, drawers reaching from the navel to the knees.
