Definition
A long, loose outer garment worn in ancient times that could be draped or worn without fastening, similar to a cloak.
Etymology
From Greek 'amphi' (around, both sides) + 'ballein' (to throw, cast). The word literally means something 'thrown around' or 'worn around' the body, describing how loosely it draped on the wearer.
Kelly Says
The amphibalus was the superhero cape of ancient fashion — so loosely worn that it could slip off either shoulder depending on how you moved! This practical garment shows how ancient people solved clothing problems thousands of years before zippers and buttons.
