SEX'TANS. A copper coin of Roman currency, weighing two ounces (unciae), and equal in value to the sixth part of an As. (Varro, L. L v. 171.) It bore the impress of a caduceus and a strigilis, with two balls to denote its value, as exhibited by the annexed specimen (Sextans/1.1), from an original, drawn of one-third the actual size.

SIB'INA or SIB'YNA (σιβύνη). A particular kind of hunting-spear (venabulum), but of which the peculiar properties are unknown. (Tertull. adv. Marc. i. 1. Hesych. s. v.) It was, however, used as a boar spear. (Athen. ii. 5.) Compare the illustrations s. VENATIO and VENATOR.

SICA'RIUS. In a general sense, one who makes use of the curved knife or dagger termed sica; but as that weapon amongst the Romans was chiefly employed for ruffianly purposes, the word sicarius was commonly used to designate a bandit, murderer, or assassin (Cic. Rosc. Am. 36. Hor. Sat. i. 4. 3.), even without reference to the instrument by which the murder was accomplished. Quint. x. 1. 12.
2. A gladiator (Cic. Rosc. Am. 3. sicarios atque gladiatores) belonging to the class called Thracians, who were armed with the sica, a national weapon in Thrace, instead of the sword (gladius), as exhibited by the annexed figure (Sicarius/2.1) of a Thracian gladiator, from the device on a terra-cotta lamp.

SI'CA. A sort of knife or dagger with a sharp point and curved blade (Gloss. Philox. ξίφος ἐπικαμπὲς), like a wild boar's tusk (Plin. H. N. xviii. 1. apri dentium sicas exacuunt), which rendered it particularly efficacious for stabbing and ripping up. It was the national weapon of the Thracians (Val. Max. iii. 2. 12.); and was consequently employed by the gladiators, who took their name and accoutrements from that people (Suet. Cal. 32. Mart. iii. 16. and next next wood-cut.) But amongst the Romans it was only regarded as the weapon of a ruffian and assassin (Cic. Cat. i. 10. Quint. Decl. 321. Isidor. Orig. xviii. 6. 8.), like the knife of the lowest Italian population, which is formed and used in a similar way, to stab at the abdomen, and rip upwards. The example (Sica/1.1) is in the hands of a barbarian on the column of Antoninus.

SICI'LIS. A spear-head, characterised by the broadness of its point (Ennius and Festus, s. v.), and a partial resemblance to the outline of the Caspian sea (Plin. H. N. vi. 15.); both which properties are sufficiently apparent in the annexed figure (Sicilis/1.1), from an original spear-head found at Pompeii, to admit of its being produced as a probable example of the form in question. A spear-head of exactly the same shape occurs twice on the column of Trajan.

SICINNIS'TA (σικιννιστής). One who dances the sicinnium, a dance of Satyrs, introduced in the Greek Satyric drama (Schol. Vet. ad Aristoph. Nub. 540.), in which the performers accompanied themselves by their own music and singing (Aul. Gell. xx. 3.), as in the annexed illustration (Sicinnista/1.1), from a fictile vase of Italo-Greek workmanship, which is believed to afford a representation of the dance in question. In the original the open mouth and expression of the female figure, both of which are lost in our wood-cut from the minute scale of the drawing, clearly indicate that she is singing. The very peculiar poses and gestures of the performers are, moreover, worthy of attention, because they express the exact attitudes and steps of the modern Neapolitan tarantella, which may be consequently regarded as a relic of this old classic dance.

SIGILLA'TUS. Ornamented with small figures in relief (sigilla); like the embossed ornaments on a vase (Cic. Verr. ii. 4. 14.), or carved devices on a well cover. Id. Att. i. 10. PUTEAL, 1.

SIGIL'LUM. A small statue, figure, or image (Ov. A. Am. i. 407.); embossed or affixed to vases of gold and silver (Cic. Verr. ii. 4. 22.); cast in terra-cotta moulds for architectural decorations (Plin. H. N. xxxvi. 59.), formed by the impressions of a signet ring (Cic. Acad. iv. 26.); or worked in embroidery. Ov. Met. vi. 86.

SIG'MA. A semicircular dining-couch (Mart. xiv. 87. Apul. Met. v. p. 90. suggestum semirotundum), adapted for use with a round table (orbis); and so named because it resembled one of the early forms of the Greek letter Sigma, which was written like our C. It was not invented until the square dining-table (quadra) fell into disuse, when the introduction of the circular form necessitated a similar change in the shape of the sofa used with it. But it was more convenient than the old lectus tricliniaris, because it did not like that require the fixed number of nine guests, but could be arranged for smaller parties; for six (Mart. ix. 60.), seven (Id. x. 48.) or eight (Lamprid. Elag. 25.); and the order of precedence in the places upon it ran straight on in regular succession, from the highest to the lowest.
2. A circular seat round the bottom of the hot-water bath, on which the bathers sat and washed themselves. (Sidon. Ep. ii. 2.) Also the bath itself. Id. ib.

SIG'NIFER (σημαιοφόρος). An ensign or standard-bearer in the Roman armies (Cic. Div. i. 35. Caes. B. G. ii. 25.); a general term, which will include all the individual officers, who nevertheless received a special title from the particular kind of ensign they carried, such as the Imaginifer, Draconarius, &c., whose ensigns were all classed under the name of signa militaria. The annexed example (Signifer/1.1), from Trajan's Column, exhibits the signifer of a cohort, whose standard is different from either of those mentioned.

SIGNI'NUM (sc. opus). Signine work; the name given to a particular kind of material employed for making floorings; consisting of tiles broken up into minute particles and mixed with mortar, then beaten down into a solid substance with the rammer. It acquired the name from the town of Signia (now Segni), which was famous for its tiles, and where it was first introduced. Columell. i. 6. 12. Plin. H. N. xxxv. 46. Vitruv. viii. 6. 14.

SIG'NUM (σημεῖον). In a general sense, any mark, sign, or signal by which something is known; whence the following more special applications have obtained.
1. An image or figure, whether of metal, marble, wrought, cast, sculptured, or embroidered (Cic. Verr. ii. 4. 1. Virg. Aen. ix. 263. Ib. i. 648. Plin. Ep. i. 20. 5.); but strictly used to designate the image of a deity (Plin. Ep. ix. 39.), as contradistinguished from statua, an image of men. Inscrip. ap. Grut. 174. 8. SIGNUM MARTIS ET STATUAM SIBI POSUIT.
2. The image or device engraved upon a seal, and the signet or impression made by it. (Cic. Cat. iii. 5. Id. Quint. 6. id. Att. ix. 10.) The example (Signum/2.1) is from an original.
3. The sign of a shop (Quint. vi. 3. 38.); indicating, by some emblematical representation, the nature of the business carried on inside, like the annexed example (Signum/3.1) of two men carrying an amphora, which is executed in terra-cotta, and forms the sign of a wine-shop at Pompeii. A milkman's in the same town is distinguished by the sign of a boy milking a goat.
4. A constellation or sign in the heavens, formed by a group of stars apparently representing the form of certain animals; as in the annexed illustration (Signum/4.1), from a statue of Atlas with the heavens on his shoulders. Ov. Fast. v. 113. Id. Met. xiii. 619.
5. Signa militaria. Military standards or ensigns, including in reality, the eagle (aquila), which was the general ensign of the entire legion, but more commonly used with reference to the different standards belonging to each separate maniple and cohort, as distinct from the eagle. (Cic. Cat. ii. 6. Tac. Hist. 11. 29. Id. Ann. i. 18.) The illustration (Signum/5.1), from a medal, shows the eagle between two standards of cohorts; the name of each ensign is enumerated in the Classed Index, and an example given under its own denomination.

SILENTIA'RIUS. A domestic slave whose duty it was to preserve silence in the household, and keep the whole establishment from making the slightest noise in the presence of their master; even a cough or sneeze being immediately checked by the ready stroke of the rod. Salvian. Gub. D. iv. 3. Inscript. ap. Fabrett. p. 206. n. 54. Compare Senec. Ep. 47.
2. Silentiarius sacri palatii. At a late period of the Empire, one of thirty officers who were persons of some consequence at the Byzantine court, acting under the authority of three superiors (decuriones), and appointed for the purpose of preserving order, silence, and decorum within the precincts of the palace. Imp. Anastas. Cod. 15. 62. 25. Inscript. ap. Grut. 1053. 10.

SIL'EX. Generally a common flint or flint-stone; but in a more special sense a large hard stone of volcanic formation, cut by the mason into polygonal blocks, and then dovetailed accurately together, which was extensively used in the construction of walls (Vitruv. i. 5. 8.), and for the paving of streets and roads (Liv. xli. 27. xxxviii. 28.); in the manner shown by the annexed example (Silex/1.1) from a piece of Roman pavement near Rome. It is thus frequently opposed to lapis, a square flag-stone, and to saxum, also used in polygonal masses, and likewise of a volcanic formation, but possessing properties which geologists call tufa, instead of a flinty substance.

SILICER'NIUM (περίδειπνον). A funeral feast given in honour of a deceased person, either at the funeral or within a few days after it (Varro, ap. Non. s. v. p. 48.); whence the term is sometimes used in mockery, to designate a decrepit old man. (Terent. Ad. iv. 3. 34.) Amongst the Romans it would appear that this entertainment took place at the sepulchre itself (ad sepulcrum, Varro, l. c.); and the highly decorated chambers, so commonly met with as appendages to their tombs (SEPULCRUM 1. and illustration), but never used to receive deposits, were doubtless intended for the purpose; while a regular triclinium, with its couches and stand for the table, is still to be seen within one of the sepulchral enclosures at Pompeii. But amongst the Greeks it was always given in the house of the nearest relative to the deceased, and immediately after the funeral. Demosth. de Coron. p. 321. 25. Cic. Leg. ii. 25. The annexed illustration (Silicernium/1.1) represents the relatives of a young Greek lady at a funeral feast of the kind described, from a marble bas-relief sculptured upon her tomb. The objects in the cornice above are merely intended to represent various articles of the female toilette and work-table.

SI'MA. An architectural moulding, so termed from the character of its outline, which resembles the snub nose of a goat, being hollow in its upper surface but swelling below, as exhibited by the figure annexed (Simpulum/1.1). It is chiefly employed for the crowning or uppermost member of a cornice, being placed over the corona, and is now termed "sima," or "cyma recta," by English architects, and "ogee" by the workmen. Vitruv. iii. 5. 12.

SIM'PULUM. A ladle or cup (cyathus) with a long handle, employed at the sacrifice for taking the wine in small quantities (Varro, L. L. v. 124.) out of the crater or other large vessel, in order to make libations. (Festus, s. v. Apul. Apol. p. 434.) The right side of the following wood-cut (Simpulum/1.1) exhibits the implement itself, from an original found in a fictile vase, which has a picture on its outside, representing a priestess in the act of filling a cup with wine, taken out of a larger vessel with the simpulum, as shown by the illustration.

SIN'DON (σινδών). A very fine sort of linen cloth, or muslin, employed for clothing by the natives of India, Egypt, and Asia. The same fabric was also imported into Italy, and used by persons of refined habits, at least in late times, for light summer dresses, both of the inner (indutus) and outer apparel (amictus). Mart. ii. 16. iv. 19. Auson. Ephem. in Parecb. 2.
2. A wrapper for books. Mart. xi. 1. Same as MEMBRANA, 2.

SI'NUM and -US (δῖνος). A very large, round, and deep bowl for wine (Varro, L. L. v. 123. Id. De Vit. Pop. Rom. ap. Non. p. 547. Plaut. Curc. i. 1. 82.), or milk (Virg. Ecl. vii. 33.); like the annexed example (Sinum/1.1), which represents Ulysses presenting a bowl of wine to Polyphemus, in a bas-relief of the Villa Pamfili. The fabled size of the Sicilian monster is thus appropriately expressed by the great capacity of the vessel containing the potation proffered to him.

SIN'US (κόλπος). Literally, any surface bent into a semicircular or hollow form, whence the following expressive senses: —
1. A semicircular fold in a loose outside garment, produced by catching up one of its sides and throwing the end over the opposite shoulder, in the manner described s. ANABOLIUM; thus contradistinguished from gremium, a lap formed by holding up the lower portion of the dress, and from ruga, a small irregular crease, arising from the constraint of a girdle (cingulum). The ordinary sinus was formed immediately across the breast, so as to make but a short belly, thence termed sinus brevis (Quint. xi. 3. 137.), as in the left-hand figure of the annexed wood-cut (Sinus/1.1), from a statue at Venice; whence the word is frequently used to designate that part of the human person. (Phaedr. v. 5. 16. Terent. Heaut. iii. 3. 2. Tac. Hist. iii. 10.) But it might be lengthened out to a much lower sweep by dropping the right hand and arm, and drawing the end down with it from the shoulder, as Caesar is represented to have done when about to fall beneath the strokes of his assassins, — simul sinistra manu sinum ad ima crura deduxit (Suet. Caes. 82.); it was then termed sinux laxus (Hor. Sat. ii. 3. 172.), because it made a long and loose belly, in the manner represented by the part marked 2. on the right-hand figure, from a statue of the Villa Pamfili. In the late fashion of adjusting the toga, a double sinus was formed, a short one drawn from under the right arm to the top of the left shoulder (Quint. xi. 3. 102.), as shown by the right-hand figure, at the part marked 4, and the loose one lower down, marked 2. Both sexes were accustomed to adjust their outer drapery in this style, and the hollow thus created served as a convenient receptacle for carrying about their persons any object which they wished to keep concealed, such as a letter, purse, &c. Cic. Verr. ii. 5. 57. Ov. Am. i. 10. 18.
2. The purse of a fishing and hunting net. Plaut. Truc. i. 1. 15. Grat. Cyneg. 29.
3. The bosom of a sail when filled by the wind. Virg. Ov. Tibull.
4. A bay or gulf on a coast, formed by the retiring of the land into a semicircular recess. Cic. Virg. Plin.
5. The curved or hollow part of the sharp edge in a vine-dresser's bill-hook (Columell. iv. 25. 1.), which resembles in form a bay of the sea, as exhibited by the annexed example (Sinus/5.1) from an ancient MS. of Columella.
6. A large full-bodied vessel for wine or milk. See SINUM.
