ANADE'MA (ἀνάδημα). A band for the head; but more particularly one which was used as a mere ornament, such as those worn by women and young persons of the male sex amongst the Greeks, in contradistinction to the diadema, vitta, or other head-bands, which were the insignia of regal, religious, or honorary distinctions. (Eur. Hippol. 83. Lucret. iv. 1126 Paul. Dig. 34. 2. 27.) The example (Anadema/1.1) is from a Pompeian painting.
