ROGUS (πυρά). A funeral pile whilst in process of combustion; composed of rough logs of wood, not cut into shape (xii. tab. ap. Cic. Leg. ii. 23.), but piled up into a square mass, on the top of which a corpse was reduced to ashes (Virg. Aen. xi. 189.). It was strictly termed pyra before the fire had been applied to it, and rogus when burning (Serv. ad Virg. l. c.), as in the example annexed (Rogus/1.1), representing the pile on which the body of Patroclus is consumed, in the bas-relief known as the Tabula Iliaca, on which the various events recorded in the Iliad are portrayed.
