JUGA'RIUS. A rustic slave, who attended to the stalling, feeding, and dressing of the plough oxen. (Columell. i. 6. 6.) The Tuscan peasantry dress their oxen daily with the brush and currycomb, as we do our horses; and it may be inferred from the above passage of Columella that the Roman jugarius did the same.
