ACIS'CULUS. A small "pick," used chiefly by builders and stone masons, having a bluff end like a hammer at one extremity, and a curved point, or pick, at the other. It is represented on several coins of the Valerian family, with the name inscribed below it, from one of which the example (Acisculus/1.1) is taken. Quint. vi. 3. 53.
