What does INFULA mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A woollen headband worn in ancient Rome by priests and sacrificial victims.
The infula was a band of white wool, sometimes with ribbons hanging at the sides, tied around the head as a sign of religious office. Roman priests wore it, and so did animals led to sacrifice and suppliants seeking protection at an altar. Later Christian bishops took the name for the two ribbons that hang from the back of the mitre. The plural is infulae.
