Syntactic/Grammatical Info
Context Nero often appeared in public in a 'dressing robe': the σύνθεσις was a loose robe of brightly-coloured silk worn during the Saturnalia and by women at other times
Comments synthesis (meaning ' a set of loose-fitting garments') also used at e.g. Mart.5.79.2/1.1.1, although this is the only example of 'sythesina' in Latin.
