CAT'ULUS. A chain attached to an iron collar (collare) round the neck, like a dog's chain by which runaway slaves, when recaptured, were brought back to their masters. (Lucil. Sat. xxix. 15. ed. Gerlach. Cum manicis, catulo, collarique, with manacles, leading chain, and neck collar.) The illustration (Catulus/1.1), from the Column of Antonine, representing a barbarian captive, shows both the collar and chain attached to it, as mentioned by Lucilius.
