TABERNA'CULUM. A tent; properly speaking, made with planks, like a booth or wooden hut (taberna, Festus, s. v.), and covered with skins or canvass, as in the annexed example (Tabernaculum/1.1), from the column of Antoninus, in which the boarded roof is distinctly apparent; but the term is also used more indiscriminately for any kind of tent, merely stretched upon cords, and without any woodwork, whether erected by the soldiery or by individuals for their own use. Cic. Verr. ii. 5. 12. Id. Brut. 9. Tac. Hist. v. 22.
