HIBERNAC'ULA. Apartments in a dwelling-house intended for winter occupation, which were less decorated than other apartments, in consequence of the dirt caused by the smoke of the fires and lamps burnt in them (Vitruv. vii. 4. 4.), and for which a western aspect was considered the most eligible. Vitruv. 1. 2. 7.

2. Tents constructed for a winter campaign, or in which the soldiers were lodged when an army kept the field during the winter season; consequently, they were covered with skins, and built of wood, or of some more substantial material than an ordinary tent. Liv. v. 2. Compare xxx. 3. xxxvii. 39.
