AENEATO´RES
AENEATO´RES (ahenatores,
Ammian. 24.4) were those who blew upon wind instruments in the
Roman army, namely, the
bucinatores, cornicines,
tubicines, liticines, and they were so called because all these
instruments were made of
aes or bronze. (Paul.
Diac. p. 20, Müll.; Mommsen,
I. R. No. 4232;
Suet. Jul. 32.) Aeneatores were also employed
in the public games. (Sen.
Ep. 84.) A
collegium aeneatorum is mentioned in inscriptions. (Orelli,
Inscr. No. 4059.)
