Mulier floribus petasata. Pictura a Petro Augusto Renoir facta (1889).

Antiquitus pastores et viatores, iter longum facientes, petasos gerebant, qua de causa et Mercurius viatorum patronus petasatus figuratur.

Sunt permulta petasorum genera, exempli gratia

Oetsius, homo conglaciatus vulgo appellatus, qui inter annos 3400 et 3100 a.C.n. in vita erat, petasum ex cute ursina factum mortuus gerebat.[2][3][4]
