Perizoma (loincloth)

Greek athletes wearing perizoma loincloths boxing

Perizoma (Greek περίζωμα, plural; perizomata) is a type of loincloth that was worn in Ancient Greece. The perizoma was typically worn by manual laborers or athletes.[1] This garment could be worn independently or with a short chiton or even underneath a longer chiton.[1] Homer references the perizoma in his epic, The Illiad underscoring its role in ancient Greek dress.[2]

The perizoma is thought to have originated with the Minoan civilization in Crete. Surviving depictions show it being worn by male and female acrobats (for example, in the Bull-Leaping Fresco).[3][4]

A perizoma was possibly worn by Jesus during his crucifixion. It is a standard feature of the crucifixion in the arts. However, the Roman custom was to crucify victims naked, and there is no evidence to suggest that Jesus was an exception.[5] Perizoma was likely added by later artists to preserve modesty (see fig leaf) and first appeared in the 8th century.[6] Aachen Cathedral claims to have the actual relic of the perizoma, preserved inside the Marienschrein reliquary.[7]

Etymology

The word perizoma is derived from peri "around, about" and zoma "loin-cloth, drawers, band, belt"
