Dolabra is a Latin term that refers to a type of ancient Roman pickaxe or adze tool, which was used for digging in mines or cutting through hard materials like stone or wood. The word dolabra has a few synonyms, including mattock, pick, and adze. A mattock is a smaller version of a pickaxe, while a pick is a tool with a pointed end used for breaking up hard soil or rocks. An adze is a cutting tool with a curved blade that is used for shaping or smoothing wood or stone surfaces. All of these tools are similar in function to the dolabra and can be used for heavy-duty excavation or construction tasks.
