Vicus Thuraricus. The most cele-
brated perfumer in the time of Mar.

Coamus, whom Martial frequently
mentions. AT Capua there was such
a number of perfumers that the

The perfumed oils and ointments
were made in great variety. Tho
basis Of the oils was generally the
oil OF Ben, and that of the unguents
was q bleached and partly purified

for tho hair, but to anoint all parts
OF the body, especially after the
