ANTILE'NA. A breast strap attached to the pack saddles of a beast of burden, in order to keep the saddle from sliding backwards. (Isidor. Orig. xx. 16.) It was fastened to the front of the saddle on both sides, and passed across the chest of the animal, as in the illustration (Antilena/1.1) from a painting at Herculaneum; and was a necessary appendage to the pack-saddle in all mountainous countries, where the ascents are steep.
