(Lat. immolatio) is the name of a ceremony performed in the sacrifices of the Romans. It consisted in throwing some sort of corn or frankincense, together with the mola or salt cake, and a little wine, on the head of the victim. See Brande and Cox, Dict. of Science, Lit., and Art, 2, 197. (See SACRIFICE). (J. H.W.)
