:''For the scallop genus, see ''Chlamys (genus)''. The beetle genus described as ''Chlamys'' is now ''Neochlamisus''. The chlamys (Ancient Greek): χλαμύς, gen.: χλαμύδος was an ancient Greek type of rather short cloak.〔(Ancient Greek Dress ) ''Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History'', Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2000-2013. Retrieved 7 October 2013.〕 By the time of the Byzantine Empire it was, in a much longer form, part of the state costume of the emperor and high officials, surviving as such until at least the 12th century CE. The ephaptis () was a similar garment, typically worn by infantrymen.〔()〕 ==Ancient Greece== The chlamys was made from a seamless rectangle of woolen material about the size of a blanket, usually bordered. It was normally pinned with a fibula at the right shoulder. Originally it was wrapped around the waist like a loincloth, but by the end of the 5th century BC it was worn over the elbows. It could be worn over another item of clothing, but was often the sole item of clothing for young soldiers and messengers, at least in Greek art. As such, the chlamys is the characteristic garment of Hermes (Roman Mercury), the messenger god usually depicted as a young man. The chlamys was typical Greek military attire from the 5th to the 3rd century BCE. As worn by soldiers, it could be wrapped around the arm and used as a light shield in combat. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「chlamys」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
