greater and heavier was carried on horfes and vehicles, 
and called onera. Hence onera vehiculorum, farcince homi- 
num. The baggage-horfes were denominated fagmentarii 
equi. The Roman foldiers in their marches were heavy 
laden ; infomuch, that they were called, by way of jefr, 
null mariani , and arumna. They had four forts of lug¬ 
gage, which they never went without, viz. corn, or bu- 
cellatum, utenfils, valli, and arms. Cicero obferves, that 
they ufed to carry with them above half a month's provi- 
fions j and we have inftances in Livy, where they carried 
provilions for a whole month. Their utenfils compre¬ 
hended'thofe proper for gathering fuel, dreffing their 
meat, and even for fortification and intrenchment; and, 
what is more, a chain for binding captives. For arms, 
the foot carried a fpear, fhield, taw, bailcet, rutrum, 
hatchet, lortim, falx, &c. Alfo flakes or- pales, valli , 
for the fudden fortifying a camp ; fometimes feven, or 
even twelve, of thefe pales were carried bv each man ; 
though generally, as Polybius tells tts, only three or four. 
On the Trajan column we fee foldiers reprefented with 
this fardle of corn, utenfils, pales, &c. gathered into a 
bundle and laid on their fhoulders. Thus inured to la¬ 
bour, they grew ftrong, and able to undergo any fatigue 
in battle ; the greateft heat of which never tired them, or 
put them out of breath. In after-times, when difeipline 
grew flack, this luggage was thrown on carriages and por¬ 
ters fhoulders. The Macedonians were not lefs inured to 
hardfhip than the Romans: when Philip firft formed an 
army, he forbad all ufe of carriages ; yet, with all their 
load, they would march, in a fummer’s day, twenty miles 
in rank and file.

eight. His Praxis Medica, and De Fibra Matrices, are

BAG'NIGGE-WELLS-WATERS. Thefe wells are 
fituated at the bottom of a hill on the fouth-weft tide of 
Iilington ; the water,is clear, and taftes flightly brackifh, 
like a weak folution of Epfom fait. From a gallon of this 
water evaporated were got by Dr. Bevis, 135 grains of in¬ 
fallible earth, 257 of bitter purging lalt, mixed with a ma¬ 
rine (alt, from whence they derive their purging quality. 
Dr. Monro thinks, that it is probable that the (alt*of this 
water is moftly an Epfom fait, mixed with a good deal of 
bittern ; becaufe it runs eafily per deliquium, and is very 
difficult to cryftallize. In molt conftitutions three half- 
pints is confidered a full dote for purging. 
•BA'GNIO,y. [from bagno, Ital. a bath.] A houfe for 
bathing, fweating, and otherwife cleanfing the body. Vul¬ 
garly, a brothel.—I have known two inftances of malig¬ 
nant fevers produced by the hotair of a bagnio. Arbulhnot. 
Bagnios, in all the Mahometan countries, are wonder¬ 
fully well conftrudted for bathing. Sometimes they are 
fquare, but moftly circular, built of well-poliflied (lone or 
marble. Each bagnio contains three rooms; the firft for 
drefting and undrefling ; the fecond contains the water, and 
the third the bath ; all of them paved with bluckand white 
marble. The operation is very curious, but wholefome ; 
though, to thofe not accuftcmed to it, it is painful. The 
attendant rubs the batiier with great vigour, then ftretches 
the limbs', as if he were diftocating every bone in the body ; 
all which exercifes are, in thofe inert warm countries, very 
conducive to health. In public bagnios the men bathe 
from morning to four hi the afternoon ; at which time, all 
male attendants being removed, the ladies fucceed, and 
when coming out of the bath difplay their fineft clothes. 
In Turkey, the word bagnio is a general name for the pri- 
fons where the (laves are inclofed, becaufe in all fuch 
places it is ufual to have baths.
