SUCCOLLA'TUS. Literally, carried on the neck and shoulders. (Suet. Otho. 6. Varro, R. R. iii. 16. compared with Virg. Georg. iv. 217.) But the verb succollare is specially used to describe the method of carrying a palanquin (lectica, Suet. Claud. 10.), and other heavy loads, which was affected by the aid of a pole (asser, phalanga), resting on the shoulders, and from which the weight to be carried was suspended, in the manner represented by the annexed illustration (Succollatus/1.1) from the column of Trajan. The principle upon which it was applied to the transport of a palanquin is explained and illustrated s. STRUPPUS, 2.
