| Metalwork: Metal crockery |
|
Roman crockery had a large number of utensils made of different materials, mainly pottery; but among the dowries, even in the most modest households, there were some of these metal objects, basically copper and bronze, either used as kitchenware or tableware (frying pans, pots, jars, cauldrons …). For the illumination of certain areas they used bronze oil lamps. Most of the metal objects found in Lucus, are associated with metal crockery, are made of bronze; but due to their poor state of preservation, they are difficult to study or classify. Some of these pieces belong to the thickerparts of the instrumentswhich are better preserved (handles or brackets) such as the handles and brackets of buckets and cauldrons and the brackets to protect the bottoms of these vessels. |
