REMULCUM (ῥυμουλκεῖν τὰς ναῦς), a rope for towing a ship, and likewise a tow-barge ("Remulcum, funis, quo deligata navis magna trahitur vice remi," Isid. Orig. XIX.4 §8; "Remulco est, quum scaphae remis navis magna trahitur," Festus, s.v.; comp. Caes. B. C. II.23, III.40; Hirt. B. Alex. 11; Liv. XXV.30, XXXII.16; Polyb. I.26,º 27, 28, III.46).
The different ropes of an ancient ship are spoken of under Navis, p790.
