RI'CA. A square sheet of woollen cloth with a fringe round its edges (vestimentum quadratum, fimbriatum. Verrius, ap. Fest. s. v.), worn as a veil over the head by females, when performing sacrifice more especially (Varro, L. L. v. 130.), but also upon other occasions (Plaut. Epid. ii. 2. 50. Aul. Gell. vi. 10. Caes. German. in Arat. 121.). Both the form and character of this piece of drapery are plainly discernible on the annexed figure (Rica/1.1), representing a priestess of Isis, from a statue of the Chiaramonte collection in the Vatican.
