[edit]Etymology
[edit]Noun
[edit]ustrinum (plural ustrina)
- (historical, Ancient Rome) The site of a funeral pyre
- 1858, John Kenrick, Roman Sepulcral Inscriptions: Their Relation to Archaeology, Language, and Religion:
- The Romans had, even in their smaller municipia, Boards of Health—such, at least, I take to be the meaning of Novemvir and Triumvir Valetudinarius; and it may seem extraordianry that they did not remove the ustrinum to a greater distance.
