BIV'IUM. A road, or street, which branches into two forks (Plin. H. N. vi. 32.); hence, in bivio (Virg. Aen. ix. 238.), at the point of divergence between two such roads or streets, and which in the town of Pompeii is always furnished with a fountain, as in the example (Biviium/1.1), which presents a street view in that city.
