A birrus or birrus brittanicus was a rainproof, hooded woollen cloak (or simply a hood alone), characteristically worn in Britain and Gaul at the time of the Roman Empire and into the Middle Ages.[1][2]
A mosaic at Chedworth Roman Villa shows a Briton wearing a birrus brittanicus;[3] there is also one shown on a statue of a ploughman at the British Museum.[4]
