SCE'NA (σκηνή). The scene of an ancient theatre; under which name were included the stage on which the actors performed, and the scenes, in our sense, consisting of a permanent wall at the back of the stage, with three doors; the one in the centre, through which the chief actor entered, being termed the royal door (valvae regiae), and the two lateral ones (hospitales, Vitruv. v. 6. 8.), all of which are distinctly marked on the illustration annexed (Scena_1/1.1), which exhibits the scena of the great theatre at Pompeii in its present state; as well as the movable side-scenes, adapted for the representation of any particular locality, in which the subject of the piece was supposed to take place, and distinguished by the epithets versatiles and ductiles (Serv. ad Virg. Georg. iii. 24.) accordingly as they were constructed to turn round on a pivot, or to slide forward in a groove.

SCE'NA or SACE'NA. An old Latin name for the double-edged hatchet, employed in killing the victim at a sacrifice, having the broad blade of an axe (securis) on one side, and the small cutting edge of the dolabra on the other, as exhibited by the annexed specimen (Scena_2/1.1) from a bas-relief of the Villa Borghese. Festus observes (s. v.) that the scena was evidently a cutting instrument (genus cultri), but whether belonging to the class of secures or dolabrae was to him a matter of doubt. Yet the passage which he quotes from Livius Andronicus — corruit, quasi ictus scena — evidently expresses an instrument which dealt out a blow rather than a gash or stab, precisely such as would be conveyed by the one exhibited in the woodcut, which also accounts for the uncertainty entertained respecting the actual character of the instrument, by the fact of its possessing both the qualities mentioned, that of cutting as well as striking.

SCENOGRAPH'IA (σκενογραφία). The perspective draught of a building, &c., as it really appears to the eye of a spectator, and would be represented in landscape or scene painting (Vitruv. 1, 2, 3.); and as contradistinguished from the geometrical draught (orthographia), which represents the same as it would appear if it could be viewed from an infinite distance. It has been said that the ancient draughtsmen were not acquainted with the art of linear perspective; and the numerous errors observable in the architectural and landscape scenes amongst the Pompeian designs are referred to in corroboration of that opinion; but it must be remembered that the artists who executed those works were merely provincial house-painters and decorators, of unequal merits, some of whom were certainly deficient in this respect; but the intricate and accurate designs of many amongst them, evince, on the other hand, a perfect knowledge of perspective. There is, consequently, no sufficient reason for doubting the genuineness of the term, nor for altering the reading in the above passage of Vitruvius, as some commentators propose.

SCEP'TRUM (σκῆπτρον). Strictly a Greek word, for which the Romans frequently use another form of the same Greek root, scipio; though both words bear a very similar signification. The original sceptrum was a long staff, like the shaft of a spear (Justin. xliii. 3.), formed from a sapling or young tree, cut down to the roots (Virg. Aen. xii. 206.), which in early times served for support in walking, while its imposing length gave an air of importance to the person who bore it, as is well exemplified by the illustration (Sceptrum/1.1), which represents Agamemnon with a staff of the nature described, from a bas-relief of Greek workmanship.
2. A sceptre; the emblem of royal authority (Cic. Sext. 57.); consequently ascribed to Jupiter (Suet. Aug. 94.), Juno, kings, and actors on the stage (Plin. H. N. xxxvii. 6.) who personated them; and which, in its original form, was nothing more than a long staff, like the preceding one, converted into an ornament of state by the addition of a decorative head-piece, like the example annexed (Sceptrum/2.1), representing Latinus in the Vatican Virgil.
3. Sceptrum eburneum. An ivory sceptre; especially the royal sceptre introduced at Rome by the kings of the Etruscan dynasty, and subsequently appropriated to themselves by the consuls of the republic. (Serv. ad Virg. Aen. xi. 238.) This was much shorter than the primitive Greek sceptre, as is shown by the annexed example (Sceptrum/3.1), from an engraved gem, representing Porsena sitting in judgment upon Mucius Scaevola; and is more commonly designated by the Latin word scipio, instead of the purely Greek one sceptrum. Liv. v. 41. Val. Max. iv. 4. § 5.
4. Sceptrum Augusti. (Suet. Galb. 1.) The imperial and triumphal sceptre; which was not identical with the regal and consular ones, but was decorated with the figure of an eagle on the top (Juv. x. 43.), and was carried by a victorius general at his triumph, during the republican period, as well as by the emperors generally under the empire, as shown by the annexed example (Sceptrum/4.1), representing Antoninus, from the base of the column erected in his honor.

SCEPTU'CHUS (σκηπτοῦχος). A high officer in the Persian court, so termed from the sceptre which he bore as a badge of office, as our own titles of "gold and silver stick," or of "black rod," have arisen from like causes. He was generally, if not always, a eunuch, though regarded as a personage of consideration, having the command over some province assigned to him; but his costume and badges are believed to be represented by the annexed figure (Sceptuchus/1.1) from one of the sculptures of Persepolis. Tac. Ann. vi. 33. Xen. Cyr. vii. 3. 17. viii. 1. 38.

SCHED'A or SCIDA (σχίδη). A strip cut from the inner bark of the papyrus, and used for the purpose of making sheets of paper to write books upon; which was effected in the following manner. The inner skin was first peeled off in thin coats (philyrae) of the largest size which could be obtained without flaws or fractures. These were cut into strips (schedae), and glued together by their largest sides, to form the writing surface; the back part being strengthened by other strips stuck on in a transverse direction, to prevent the paper from splitting up in the direction of the fibres. One row of strips thus prepared and joined together was called a length or a breadth (plagula); a certain number of which were then glued together into one large sheet to make a book or roll (liber, volumen). Plin. H. N. xiii. 23. Hence the word is frequently used in the sense of a leaf, a single piece of paper, or the fractional part of a sheet, like our page. Cic. Att. i. 20. Quint. i. 8. 19. Mart. iv. 91.

SCHOENIC'ULAE. Women who perfumed themselves with a very coarse and common kind of ointment, manufactured from a species of rush (schoenus), possessing odoriferous properties; intended as a contemptuous nickname. Festus, s. v. Varro, L. L. vii. 64. Compare Plaut. Poen. i. 2. 58. schoeno delibutas.

SCHOL'A (σχολὴ). Literally means rest from bodily labour, which affords an opportunity for mental recreation or study; whence the term is transferred to the place where teachers and their pupils assemble for the purpose of instruction, our school (Cic. Or. ii. 7. Suet. Gramm. 16. Auson. Idyll. iv. 6., and LUDUS); and to a room in which philosophers and literati assemble together for conversation and discussion. Plin. H. N. xxxv. 37. xxxvi. 4. § 5.
2. Schola alvei. Schola labri. The vacant space on the floor of the thermal chamber (caldarium) in a set of baths, which surrounds the warm water bath (alveus); or the circular basin (labrum) situated at the opposite end of the room, where the bathers, who were waiting to use either of these vessels, might sit or stand until their turn came. (Vitruv. v. 10. 4.) We might translate it the waiting or resting place, which fully expresses the primary as well as secondary notion of the word schola. In the annexed illustration (Schola/2.1), representing the circular end of the thermal chamber in the baths at Pompeii, with its labrum in the centre, the schola labri is the passage round the basin; and a reference to the wood-cut, s. LABRUM 1., which exhibits the bathers standing round the vessel, will further elucidate the matter, by showing how that vessel was occupied by one set of bathers, while the others were compelled to stand by until they could find a vacant place at their disposal.

SCIMPOD'IUM (σκιμπόδιον). A small couch or sofa, of Greek invention; or, rather, an invalid's chair, constructed so as to support the legs and feet in an easy position, like our gouty chair, for it was used by persons subject to that complaint during an access of the malady. Aul. Gell. xix. 10. 1.

SCO'PAE (κάλλυντρον, σάρωθρον). In the singular means a thin twig; but the word is rarely used except in the plural, when it signifies a birch broom (Cato, R. R. 152. Plaut. Stich. ii. 3. 27.), made up from a number of twigs, like our own. See the woodcut at p. 55, which exhibits an Egyptian at the edge of a treshing-floor with such a broom in his hands.

SCORDIS'CUM. A housing or clothing for horses (Veg. Vet. iii. 60.), made of untanned leather or skins (Isidor. Gloss. Edict. Dioclet. 24.), and adapted to the shape of the animal, very much in the same style as now practised. But the ancients appear to have used it not so much for the purpose of warm clothing, as to provide a defence for the animal on the field of battle. This may be inferred in part from the strong material of which it was made, from its being designated in the edict of Diocletian (l. c.) as a military accoutrement, and from the fact of its being frequently represented in the Egyptian paintings and Etruscan vases on the bodies of horses, when harnessed to the war-chariot. The example (Scordiscum/1.1) is copied from a Greek medal.

Ammian. xxiii. 4.), handled by a single man, but requiring skill to be used effectively (Vitruv. x. 1. 3.); and probably the same as, or very similar to, the modern cross-bow, the form of which has a close affinity to that of a scorpion, the insect after which it was named.

SCOT'IA (σκοτία, τροχίλος). The scotia in architecture; that is, a hollow moulding in the base of a column, between the fillets of the upper and lower torus, which received its name from the dark shadow (σκότος, darkness) cast upon its receding surface by the projecting cushion of the torus, as shown by the tinted portion of the annexed example (Scotia/1.1). Vitruv. iii. 5. 2.
2. A groove or channel cut into the under surface of the corona in the Doric order, and near its edge, the object of which is to prevent the rain water which trickles over the cornice from re-entering underneath it. Vitruv. iv. 3. 6. Marquez. Ord. Dor. p. 47.

Generally any person employed in writing; but more especially applied to the public notary or clerk, who was a free man, professionally employed by the state in copying public documents, &c.; whereas the ordinary copyist (librarius) was a slave, who worked for the individual that owned him.

SCRI'NIUM. A circular box or case (Plin. H. N. xvi. 84.) in which books, papers, letters (Sall. Cat. 47. Hor. Ep. ii. 1. 112.), or other small portable objects, such as scents and unguents (Plin. H. N. vii. 30.), were kept. The exact difference between a scrinium and capsa is not easily ascertained; since they were both formed with the same external shape and materials, and used for similar purposes. A passage of Pliny, however (H. N. xvi. 84.), clearly distinguishes them from each other; whence it has been conjectured that the scrinium was a capsa, but divided internally into a number of separate compartments (quasi secernium); and this supposition gains some sort of authority from the annexed illustration (Scrinium/1.1), representing the scrinium unguentarium of Venus, in a Pompeian painting, amongst a number of other articles appertaining to the toilette of that goddess. Though the inside of the case is not exposed, yet the form of the lid, rising in the centre to give room for the largest bottle, sufficiently indicates the purpose for which it was intended to be used; and a case containing many bottles would answer its object very imperfectly, unless divisions were made in it for the reception of each one, distinct from the rest. Quaranta. Mus. Borb. xi. 16. Compare CAPSA.

SCRI'PULUM or SCRU'PULUM. A scruple; the smallest gold coin of the Roman currency, weighing one-third of the denarius. (Plin. H. N. xxxiii. 16.) It is distinguished by the head of Mars in a helmet, and an eagle with the word ROMA on the reverse, as in the example (Scripulum/1.1), from a specimen belonging to the Royal Library at Paris. The coin is extremely rare.
