pillĕus, i, m., and pillĕum, i, n. [akin to Gr. pilos, with same signif.; also to pilus, a hair], a felt cap or hat, made to fit close, and shaped like the half of an egg. It was worn by the Romans at entertainments and festivals, esp. at the Saturnalia, and was given to a slave at his enfranchisement as a sign of freedom (cf. petasus).

Gladiators who had often been victorious also received the pilleus at their discharge, Tert. Spect. 21.
