LONGU'RIUS. A very long straight pole, employed for making divisions or fences in a meadow (Varro, R. R. i. 14. 2.); as a swinging bar for separating the horses in a stable, which the ancients did not divide into stalls (Varro, R. R. ii. 7. 10.); as a handle for the falx muralis (Caes. B. G. iii. 14.); or, indeed, for any purpose to which such an object was adapted.
