TUGUR'IUM. A cottier's hut; forming an abode for the poorest classes of the rural population. They were made of wood, with peaked roofs of turf, the bark of trees, hurdles, or other materials of the same common description, and apparently without windows (Plin. H. N. xvi. 14. Virg. Ecl. i. 69. Columell. xii. 15. 1. Festus, s. v.), as exhibited by the illustration (Tugurium/1.1) from one of the Pompeian paintings.
