MAR'CULUS. Diminutive of MARCUS. A smith's hammer (Mart. xii. 57. 6. Plin. H. N. vii. 57. Isidor. Orig. xix. 7. 2.); and as the word is a diminutive, it will represent one of the smaller kinds, used with one hand, as by the annexed figure (Marculus/1.1) from a sepulchral urn, and by one of the smiths at p. 283 (see article FERRARIUS).[Note 1]
