Trapezium
Trapezium est breve ferrum transversum funibus vel filis metallicis de fulcro suspensum, apparatus acrobaticus plerumque in effectibus circensibus visus. Actus trapezii stabiles esse possunt, versantes (de puncto singulo statuti), oscillantes, aut volantes, atque a singulis, binis, trinis, multisve effici possunt. Trapezium ultimus circi actus esse solet.

Historia
Ars trapezia inventa et explicata est ab Iulio Léotard (1838–1870), iuvene acrobata et petaurista Francico, qui Tolosae medio saeculo undevicesimo trapezium volans  excogitavit, super patris piscina meditans.
