LAN'CULA. Diminutive of LANX; and especially the scale, which was appended when necessary to one end of a Roman steelyard (statera). (Vitruv. x. 3. 4.) The illustration (Lancula/1.1) shows two steelyards found in Pompeii; one with a scale affixed to it, the other without the scale, but with a hook for holding the objects to be weighed.
