SUGGES'TUM or SUGGES'TUS. In a general sense, any elevated place made of earth, stones, &c., but especially a raised platform on which orators stood to address a concourse (Cic. Tusc. v. 20.), generals to harangue their troops (Tac. Hist. i. 55., wood-cut s. ALLOCUTIO), or magistrates sat to hear causes (Liv. xxxi. 29.), &c. The illustration (Suggestum/1.1), from a bas-relief, represents Trajan sitting on an elevated stage of the kind described, to receive the submission of a Parthian king.

2. In a wine and oil cellar. Cato, R. R. 154. Same as CALCATORIUM.
