For heating the bath water?

Aktungbby · 03-21-21, 12:18 PM

nope no water was [
involved bathing wasn't involved; the interior 'ledges' were essential to its fucntion. Upscale homes tended to have one.

How is the scale of said thing, did one sit on the ledges?

Jimbuna · 03-21-21, 12:27 PM

Are you saying water was involved but bathing was involved?

my bad; I meant not bathing... but people, generally of 'the equestrian order' who owned this type of pottery device would have dipped in the caldariums & frigidariums of the day at public baths...probably while out shopping the agora for poppy seeds and honey to augment the delicacy!

Catfish · 03-21-21, 01:07 PM

"scampered" ?

Roman perfume bowl/bottle?

For the Doormice?

Aktungbby · 03-21-21, 05:09 PM

You're right on it! "Edible dormouse!

Now what is it called specifically!...U must have read the meal course in Satyricon

although 2000 years later, it's still served in Slovenia. Jeeze! Even Slovenian Melania Trump might still snack on these hors d'ouerves!

Jimbuna · 03-22-21, 06:16 AM

Glis glis?

d@rk51d3 · 03-22-21, 06:44 AM

You wouldn’t want to reach into the chamber pot by accident.

Catfish · 03-22-21, 07:19 AM

glis glis may well be the right species, but according to the text the "dormice coated with poppy seeds and honey" are presented on a plate..

Etruscan?
A "Gliarium" ?

Aktungbby · 03-22-21, 10:22 AM

TAADAA! a glirarium it is!

Quote:

Inside there are two or more shelves placed against the vessel walls and additional holes in the bottom of the vessel, generally more numerous than those on the sides.[2] By inducing hibernation via darkness and confinement, the glirarium would cause the dormouse to fatten

Bon Appetite!! over to
Catfish

In one version of The Satyricon, the roasted edible dormice are served on racks 'welded to small metal bridges'. ...there is a recipe for use with chicken!
