AERO. A sand-basket made of oziers, rushes, or sedge (Plin. H. N. xxvi. 21. Vitruv. v. 12. 15.), which is frequently represented as used by the soldiers employed in excavations, fortifications, and ordinary field works, on the Column of Trajan, from which the annexed illustration (Aero/1.1) is taken. The word, however, is only a colloquial term employed by the common people, or in familiar language. Donat. ap. Terent. Phorm. i. 2. 72.
