SAL'IENS. A jet d'eau, or artificial fountain in which the water is made to shoot forth or leap up by the force of its own pressure, in passing through a small tube (sipho) which gives it vent. (Cic. Q. Fr. iii. 1. 2. Vitruv. viii. 6. 2. Ulp. Dig. 19. 1. 15.) Agrippa formed one hundred and five of these fountains in the city of Rome (Plin. H. N. xxxvi. 24. § 9.), and the illustration (Saliens/1.1) exhibits one still remaining in the fuller's establishment at Pompeii.
