ALLOCU'TIO. An address or harangue; especially such as the Roman generals were in the custom of delivering to their soldiery. Allocutions of this kind are frequently represented on medals, triumphal arches, and columns, at which the commanders appear upon a raised platform (suggestum), attended by their chief officers, with the standards and body of the troops arranged in front, as here shown from a medal of Antoninus (Allocutio/1.1), which also bears the inscription ADLOCUTIO AUGUST. S. C.
