MITRA (μίτρα), signified in general a band of any kind, and was used specifically to indicate,
A belt or girdle worn by warriors round the waist. [Zona.]
A broad band of cloth worn round the head, to which the name of anadema was sometimes given. [Coma, p329B.]
In later times, a band worn round the bosom by women, which the Greeks usually called ἀπόδεσμος, and the Romans fascia pectoralis or strophium (Becker, Charikles, vol. II p329). [Fascia, Strophium.]
