WHAT DOES PAENULA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Paenula

The paenula was a cloak worn by the Romans, akin to the poncho of the modern Spaniards and Spanish Americans. This was originally worn only by slaves, soldiers and other people of low degree; in the 3rd century, however, it was adopted by fashionable people as a convenient riding or travelling cloak; and finally, by the sumptuary law of 382 it was prescribed as the proper everyday dress of senators, instead of the military chlamys, the toga being reserved for state occasions.
