These 'genii cuculatti' (hooded spirits) are wearing the cucullus, a hood attached to the cloak. Their cloaks may be the 'birrus Britannicus', the woollen cloak that Britain was famous for exporting across the Empire. A genius is a spirit, and there could be genii of certain places, or activities. These Celtic deities were associated with fertility and prosperity.
