Fascia

DICTIONARY OF ROMAN AND GREEK ANTIQUITIES Anthony Rich (3rd ED. 1883)

In a general direction, any band of long fabric and narrow employee like binding: for example the langes (spargana) in which the old ones had habit to wrap the bodies of the new-born children (Plaut. Trick. V, 13; cf Amphit. V, 1,52). They consisted of long and narrow band of folded up fabric, as in a mummy, around the body of the head to the feet, so as to leave of overdraft only the figure, as engraving attached shows it clearly, representing a child whom between the arms an actress of tragedy holds, in a painting of Pompéi, and which recalls under all the reports/ratios the way in which the country-women of Italy emmaillottent their children today.

Stringcourse related to the head like emblem of the royalty (Senec. Ep. 80); it was called especially Diadema. (apodêsmos). Binding attached around the chest of the young girls to stop by the pressure the development of the center (Mart. Ep. XIV, 134; Ovid. A.Am. III, 247; Prop. IV, 9,49); one looked like essential with the beauty and the grace of an young woman to compress the throat thus. One carried this binding on the skin as the two figures attached show it. That which one sees of face is taken of a statuette of bronze (Caylus, VI, 71), and that which one sees by behind painting of Pompéi where it is colored in red. But it should not be believed that it was part of ordinary clothing, nor that the use was general, in Greece or Italy; it was employed only by people exposed to a development excessive or given by mothers to their daughters when they were worried too much about their beauty (For the third time. Eun. II, 3,21).
