R. R. 1, 14, 2: aggeribus niveis ( with snow-drifts) informis Terra, Verg. G. 3, 354:

    atque ipsis proelia miscent Aggeribus murorum, pleon. for muris,

    id. A. 10, 24; cf. id. ib. 10, 144:

    ut cocto tolleret aggere opus, of the walls of Babylon,

    Prop. 4, 10, 22.— A dike of earth for the protection of a harbor (Ital. molo), Vitr. 5, 12, 122; Ov. M. 14, 445; 15, 690.— A causeway through a swamp:

    A mound erected before the walls of a besieged city, for the purpose of sustaining the battering engines, and which was gradually advanced to the town; cf. Smith's Dict. Antiq., and Herz. ad Caes. B. G. 2, 12:

    aggere, vineis, turribus oppidum oppugnare,

    4.
