ABSTRACT
GALLI PRIESTS of Cybele (the Great Mother), traditionally eunuchs, wore an exotic costume defying all the norms of Roman male dress: a long SLEEVED, YELLOW or multi-COLOURED long garment, a mitra HEADDRESS, with various ornaments attached and JEWELLERY (pendants, earrings, rings). Their HAIR was long and carefully dressed, except on days of mourning for Attis, when it was dishevelled.
