MILLUS. A collar for a sporting dog, made of leather, and armed with projecting iron spikes (clavis ferreis eminentibus), particularly used for those which were trained for hunting wild beasts, to protect the vulnerable parts of the neck and throat from their formidable adversaries. (Scipio Aemilian. ap. Fest. s. v.) The example (Millus/1.1) here introduced represents one of Meleager's hounds, in a painting of Herculaneum.
