Nudus

“These words, besides denoting absolute nakedness, were applied to any one who, being without an Amictus, wore only his tunic or indutus. In this state of nudity the ancients performed the operations of ploughing, sowing and reaping. The accompanying woodcut shows a man ploughing in his tunic only. This term applied to the warrior expressed the absence of some part of his armour.” — Smith, 1873
