Description: | Roman mixing bowl (mortarium). This is a very characteristic type of Roman pot. It could be used both as a mixing bowl or in a similar way to a modern pestle and mortar. The inner surface of the bowl is covered in grit to provide a better grinding surface, and it has a pouring spout. This example was imported from Germany (second century, Arbeia Roman Fort).
