CELLA, in its primary sense, means a store-room of any kind. Of these there were various descriptions, which took their distinguishing denominations from the articles they contained, as, for instance, the _cella penuaria_ or _penaria_, the _cella olearia_ and _cella vinaria_. The slave to whom the charge of these stores was intrusted, was called _cellarius_, or _promus_, or _condus_, “quia _promit_ quod _conditum est_,” and sometimes _promus condus_ and _procurator peni_. This answers to our butler and housekeeper. Any number of small rooms clustered together like the cells of a honeycomb were also termed _cellae_; hence the dormitories of slaves and menials are called _cellae_, and _cellae familiaricae_, in distinction to a bed-chamber, which was _cubiculum_. Thus a sleeping-room at a public-house is also termed _cella_. _Cella ostiarii_, or _janitoris_, is the porter’s lodge. In the baths the _cella caldaria_, _tepidaria_, and _frigidaria_, were those which contained respectively the warm, tepid, and cold bath. [BALNEAE.] The interior of a temple, that is the part included within the outside shell (σηκός), was also called _cella_. There was sometimes more than one _cella_ within the same peristyle or under the same roof, in which case each cell took the name of the deity whose statue it contained, as _cella_ Jovis, _cella_ Junonis, _cella_ Minervae, as in the temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline. CĔNOTĂPHĬUM, a cenotaph (κενός and τάφος), was an empty or honorary tomb, erected as a memorial of a person whose body was buried elsewhere, or not found for burial at all.
