  • 1 persona

    persōna, ae, f [acc. to Gabius Bassus ap. Gell. 5, 7, 1 sq., from per-sŏno, to sound through, with the second syllable lengthened].
    I.
    A mask, esp. that used by players, which covered the whole head, and was varied according to the different characters to be represented (syn. larva), Gell. 5, 7, 1:

    personam tragicam forte vulpis viderat,

    Phaedr. 1, 7, 1:

    personam capiti detrahere,

    Mart. 3, 43, 4:

    persona adicitur capiti,

    cretea persona,

    Lucr. 4, 297, cf. Mart. 14, 176, 1. And sometimes of the bark of wood:

    oraque corticibus sumunt horrenda cavatis,

    Verg. G. 2, 387: ut tragicus cantor ligno tegit ora cavato, Prud. adv Symm. 2, 646. The opening for the mouth was very large:

    personae pallentis hiatum formidat infans,

    Juv. 3, 175:

    personis uti primus coepit Roscius Gallus praecipuus histrio, quod oculis obversis erat, nec satis decorus in personis nisi parasitus pronunciabat,

    Diom. p. 486 P. Heads with such masks were used as ornaments for water-spouts, fountains, etc.:

    Butades figulus primus personas tegularum extremis imbricibus imposuit, quae inter initia prostypa vocavit,

    Plin. 35, 12, 43, § 152:

    personae, e quarum rostris aqua salire solet,

    Dig. 19, 1, 17 fin.: mulier nempe ipsa videtur, non personā loqui, a mask, a masked person, Juv 3, 96.—
    II.
    Transf., a personage, character, part, represented by an actor:

    parasiti persona,

    Ter. Eun. prol. 26 sq.:

    sub personā militis,

    Gell. 13, 22, 11:

    (tragici) nihil ex personā poëtae dixerunt,

    Vell. 1, 3, 2.—Hence,
    B.
    Also, transf. beyond the scenic lang., in gen., the part or character which any one sustains in the world (class.):

    (ego), qui non heroum veteres casus fictosque luctus velim imitari atque adumbrare dicendo, neque actor sim alienae personae, sed auctor meae,

    Cic. de Or. 2, 47, 194:

    Vop. Prob. 10, 7; Macr. S. 2, 7, 17:

    id. Planc. 41, 100:

    fateantur in Maeandrii personā esse expressam speciem civitatis,

    id. Fl. 22, 53:

    id Cicero suā ipsā personā frequentissime praecipit,

    in his own name, Quint. 10, 5, 2:

    cetera quae sunt a me in secundo libro de Oratore per Antonii personam disputata,

    Cic. Fam 7, 32, 2 B. and K. (dub.;

    al. ex personā): ex tuā personā enumerare possis, ut, etc.,

    id. Inv. 1, 52, 99:

    hanc personam induisti: agenda est,

    Sen. Ben. 2, 17, 2.—Hence,
    2.
