How do you say magazine in Latin?

The English word "magazine" meant, originally, an armory: a place where weapons are stored. The Latin word for "magazine" in this sense is entheca (-ae, f.).

Classical Latin does not have a word for "magazine" as a publication (the Romans might have thought of such a thing as a liber (libri, m.), "book"). The word periodicum (-i, n.) was coined for use in this sense in modern (post-Renaissance) Latin.
