TUB'A (σάλπιγξ). A wind instrument made of bronze, with a funnel or bell-shaped mouth, and straight tube (Ov. Met. 1. 98. Juv. ii. 118. Veg. Mil. iii. 5.), like our trumpet, giving out very loud and interrupted notes (fractos sonitus, Virg. Georg. iv. 72. terribili sonitu taratantara dixit. Ennius ap. Prisc. viii. 842.) The example (Tuba/1.1) is from the arch of Titus.
