BUCINA'TOR or BUCCINA'TOR (βυκανητής, or βυκανιστής). One who blows the horn, called bucina (Polyb. ii. 29. 6. Id. xxx. 13. 11. Caes. B. C. ii. 35.), which in addition to the uses mentioned in the last article, was also employed for making signals on board ship, as in the example (Bucinator/1.1), from a terra-cotta lamp, which represents a ship coming into port; the sailors are furling the sails, while the master signalizes its arrival by sounding the bucina.
