Illustrated Companion to the Latin Dictionary, and Greek Lexicon (Rich, 1849)

BARBA'TULUS. Having a youthful beard growing just round the chin, without being shortened or trimmed into shape by the barber (Cic. Att. i. 14.), as it was worn by the youth of Rome before the custom of shaving had obtained; and, subsequently, until the age of manhood, when its ample growth required to be artificially trimmed into form. The illustration (Barbatulus/1.1) is taken from a statue of Drusus, the son of Tiberius, found at Pompeii.
