An infula was originally a Roman sacredfillet, made of wool, worn on the head by priests, victims, and persons who fled to any place for mercy or protection. It was also worn by the emperors and magistrates on solemn occasions. The name was later applied to the head-dress of a Christian priest, and, still later to a pendantornament at he back of a mitre.
