SICI'LIS. A spear-head, characterised by the broadness of its point (Ennius and Festus, s. v.), and a partial resemblance to the outline of the Caspian sea (Plin. H. N. vi. 15.); both which properties are sufficiently apparent in the annexed figure (Sicilis/1.1), from an original spear-head found at Pompeii, to admit of its being produced as a probable example of the form in question. A spear-head of exactly the same shape occurs twice on the column of Trajan.
