CALCA'TOR (ληνοβάτης). One who crushes grapes for making wine, by treading them out with the naked feet, as is still the practice in Italy. (Calpurn. Ecl. iv. 124.) In the illustration (Calcator/1.1), from a bas-relief in the Library of St. Mark at Venice, the operation is performed by two persons only, represented by Fauns; but in other ancient works of art, as many as seven persons are seen in the vat at the same time, sometimes supporting themselves by ropes over head, but more commonly with crutch-handled sticks, like those in the annexed engraving.
