CERO'MA (κήρωμα). Properly, an unguent, made of oil and wax compounded together, with which the bodies of wrestlers were anointed previously to being rubbed over with fine sand (Mart. Ep. vii. 32.); whence the same term is also used to designate the chamber in which this operation was performed. Plin. H. N. xxxv. 2. Senec. Brev. Vit. 12.
