Petasus
A petasos ( Greek : έ πέτασος, also ἡ πέτασος) was a flat felt or straw hat with a wide, round brim in ancient Greece , which often appears to have four arched incisions. The petasos of women was higher than that of men. The Petasos could be held with a strap under the chin.
He came from Thessaly and served with the chlamys as the costume of the Ephebe . Hermes is usually represented with the winged Petasus .
The Romans and Greeks wore similar hats in the country and when traveling, in the city mostly only in the theater to protect against the sun.
