buccina
An ancient Roman horn used by the infantry, as distinguished from the kituus, which was used by the cavalry. The buccina had a cylindrical bore that expanded into a bell, and the tube was curved to nearly a circle, with the bell resting on the player's shoulder. It was pitched at the second G above middle G.
