SOLEA'TUS. Wearing soleae, as shown by the wood-cut s. SOLEA, 1. When the word is used with reference to the Romans, it is indicative of a person being in-doors, or in dishabille; as these articles were considered unbecoming for out-door use, and to betoken affected manners or a foreign style of dress. Senec. Ira. iii. 18. Castric. ap. Gell. xiii. 21. Cic. Verr. ii. 5. 33. Pis. 6.
