CONCAE'DES. A barricade made of trees cut down and placed across a road to impede the approach or pursuit of a hostile force. (Tac. Ann. i. 50. Vet. Mil. iii. 22.) On the columns of Trajan and Antonine the Roman, as well as barbarian, soldiers are frequently represented in the act of felling trees for this and similar purposes.
