MAR'TIOLUS. Diminutive of MARCULUS. A common hammer of the smallest kind; such as used by carpenters for driving nails, or hammering and beating out any thing which does not require extraordinary force or labour; like the delicate works in metal, called ἔργα σφυρήλατα by the Greeks. (Pet. Sat. 51. 4.) The example (Martiolus/1.1) is represented on the sepulchral stone of a Roman mechanic.
