VINDE'MIA (τρύγητος). Strictly, a gathering of grapes at vintage (Varro, L. L. v. 37.), but also applied to other produce; as, olives (Plin. H. N. xv. 2.), frankincense (Id. xii. 32.), and honey (Columell. ix. 15. 1.). The gathering of olives by means of ladders raised against the trees is shown by the annexed illustration (Vindemia/1.1), from an engraved gem; and the gathering of grapes by similar means is represented on a bas-relief amongst the collection at Ince-Blundell, and on a mosaic pavement discovered at Rome. Pict. Crypt. tav. 24.
