Magalia
and mapalia. Words said to be borrowed from the Punic language, in which they denoted the cottages, huts, and hovels of the peasants, made of reeds or canes ( Serv. ad Verg. Aen. i. 420; iv. 259; Sil. Ital. xvii. 88-89). They are described as being sometimes conical or circular in shape, and sometimes oblong with bulging sides. Both these forms are common in the primitive structures of other peoples, and the circular variety is represented in the accompanying illustration, reproduced from the Column of Antoninus. See Sall. Iug. 211.
