[edit] Image
I changed the image to the right of the screen because the junction between the first line and the image itself was a little ugly. --Jotomicron | talk 16:19, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Main Article
The article only describes the garment worn, when, by general definition, it includes or can refer exclusively to the hood of the garment, or any other article of clothing worn as a hood. Should/can this be added in? I'd do it, but I'm still rather new to editing Wikipedia in anything more than minor spelling/grammar errors. --Mike 01:11, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi. The cucullus is seen depicted in Roman art, and goes back to at least the 2nd Century AD. Reference 'Roman Military Clothing 2' by Graham Sumner. Also Bill Thayer's expansive and highly reliable Lacus Curtius site, in the online edition of the Greek and Roman Dictionary. "Cowls were imported into Italy from Saintes in France (Santonico cucullo, Juv. VIII.145; Schol. in loc.), and from the country of the Bardaei in Illyria (Jul. Cap. Pertinax, 8). Those from the latter locality were probably of a peculiar fashion, which gave origin to the term Bardocucullus. Liburnici cuculli are mentioned by Martial (xiv.139)". Best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.203.8.25 (talk) 09:07, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
