MUSCULUS, a military machine, made use of by the Romans to cover and protect the soldiers whilst they approached and undermined the walls of besieged places, or filled the ditches. It seems to have resembled the testudo in form, but to have been smaller in size.
MUSEIA were Grecian festivals in honour of the Muses, celebrated with games every fifth year, particularly by the Thespians. The Macedonians also observed a festival of the same name in honour of Jupiter and the Muses.
