[edit] History
Teges is a Biblical term with Latin roots meaning rug. In ancient times the word teges was used to refer to a mat or covering made of sedge or rushes.[1] Teges is also used to refer to an individual from a region of Greece called Tegeaeus (of Tegea) located in Arcadia.[2] Tegea is the home of the temple Athena Alea. Athena is the Goddess of heroic endeavour.
The invention of the Archimedean screw-pump was first depicted on a fresco in the house of Cornelius Teges in Pampeii, Italy dating before 79 A.D.[3]
