CREPITAC'ULUM. A little rattle, with bells attached, to make a jingling sound; especially a child's rattle. (Quint. ix. 4. 66. Capell. i. 4. Compare Lucret. v. 230. where the diminutive, crepitacillum, is used.) The example (Crepitaculum/1.1) represents an original found at Pompeii.

2. Martial (Ep. xiv. 54.), and Apuleius (Met. xi. p. 240.), give the same designation to the Egyptian sistrum, which was only another kind of rattle; see that word and the illustration.
