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

COLLA'RE. An iron collar put round the neck of runaway slaves, with a leading chain (catulus) attached to it, like a dog's chain and collar. (Lucil. Sat. xxix. 15. ed. Gerlach.) Prisoners of war were sometimes treated in the same way, as may be seen by the illustration (Collare/1.1), representing a barbarian captive, from the Column of Antoninus.

2. A dog's collar. (Varro, R. R. ii. 9. 15.) The example (Collare/2.1) is from a mosaic pavement in one of the houses at Pompeii, and represents a watch-dog, with his collar and chain attached.
