（λεύκωμα). A space or patch covered with white plaster against the walls of a building, upon which public announcements or advertisements to the public were written; and thence the name is given to any sort of white tablet bearing an inscription, such as a list of the senators, the praetor's edicts, or things of a like nature (Sentent. i. t. 14; Seneca, Ep. 48; Cic. Orat. ii. 12). The annual edicts of the praetor were posted up in this way; and Cicero states that the annales maximi were posted on an album by the Pontifex Maximus ( De Orat. ii. 12, 52).

Album Senatorium is the official list of the senators (Tac. Ann. iv. 42); Album Iudĭcum is the panel of the iudices. See Iudex.
