AG'OLUM. A long tapering stick used by the Roman drovers and herdsmen, for driving their cattle. (Festus. s. v.) The drovers of the Roman Campagna make use of a similar instrument at the present day, formed by a long straight shoot of the prickly pear, precisely like the example (Agolum/1.1) here given, which is from a painting at Pompeii.
