CILIBAN'TUM. A wine or drinking table of circular form, supported upon three legs; for circular tables, on a single stem, had an appropriate name of their own  — monopodia. Tables of this kind are frequently represented in the Pompeian paintings, from one of which the annexed illustration (Cilibantum/1.1) is copied, with the drinking vessels (capides, capulae) upon it, precisely as mentioned by Varro, L. L. v. 121.
