What is the "pallium"?
The pallium is a rectangular piece of fabric made of wool that was worn by men in ancient Rome. It was a mantle that was draped over the shoulders and fastened at the neck with a fibula or brooch. The pallium was often made of white wool and was considered a symbol of Roman citizenship and authority. It was worn by both men and women, but the design and ornamentation varied depending on the wearer's social status. The pallium was also used as a religious vestment in the Christian church, where it was worn by bishops as a symbol of their authority and consecration.
