AGGERES,

Heaps of Earth which were rais'd upon the Tombs of the Antients; Virgil makes mention of them in his Aeneids, Lib. XI. v. 850.

—Terrino ex aggere bustum.

as also in v. 6. of Lib. VII.

Aggere composito tumuli.—

Sidonius writes to one of his Relations named Secundus, that coming from Lyons to Clermont in Auvergne, he observ'd that Time and Water had almost laid plain an Heap or Bank of Earth, which cover'd the Tomb of Apollinaris his Kins∣man, who was Praefectus Praeterio, A. C. 409. Catulus speaks also of these Tombs, and calls them, Coacervatum bustum excelso aggere.

Aggere Tarquinii, the Ramparts of Earth which Tarquinius rais'd between the Mountains, Vimi∣nalis, & Esquilinus, from whence Suetonius says, they cast down Criminals head-long: Verbera∣tum per vicos agerent, qu••••d praecipitaretur ex aggere.
