A dictionary of Greek and Roman . stone,enveloped in swaddling-clothes, to be devoured bySaturn instead of his new-born child. (Hes. ) It was one of the peculiarities of the Lace-daemonian education to dispense with the use ofincunabula, and to allow children to enjoy the freeuse of their limbs. (Plut. Lyeurg. p. 90, ) [J. Y.] INCUS (&Kfiu>v), an anvil. The representa-tions of Vulcan and the Cyclopes on various worksof art, show that the ancient anvil was formed likethat of modern times. When the smith wanted tomake use of it, he placed it on a large block ofwood (aK/jLoOeTov, Horn. II. xviii. 410, 476, 274 ; positis incudibus, Virg. A en. vii. 629 ;viii. 451) ; and when he made the link of a chain,or any other object which was round or hollow, hebeat it upon a point projecting from one side ofthe anvil. The annexed, woodcut, representingVulcan forging a thunderbolt for Jupiter, illus-trates these circumstances ; it is taken from a gemin the Royal Cabinet at Paris. It appears that in. the brazen age, not only the things made uponthe anvil, but the anvil itself, with the hammerand the tongs, were made of bronze. (Horn. 433, 434 ; Apollon. Rhod. iv. 761, 762.)[Malleus.] []INDEX. [Liber.]INDIGITAMENTA. [Pontifex.]INDUSIUM. [Tunica.]PNDUTUS. [Amictus ; Tunica.]INFAMIA. The provisions as to Infamia, asthey appear in the legislation of Justinian, are con-tained in Dig. 3. tit. 2. De his qui notantur In-famia, and in Cod. 2. tit. 12. Ex quibus causis In-famia irrogatur. The Digest contains (s. 1) thecases of Infamia as enumerated in the PraetorsEdict. There are also various provisions on thesubject in the Lex Julia Municipals (b. c. 45),commonly called the Table of Heraclea. Infamia was a consequence of condemnation inany Judicium Publicum, of ignominious (ignominiaecausa) expulsion from the army (Tab. Heracl. ), of a woman being detected in adultery,though she might not have been condemned in aJudicium Publicum
