Robert Schilling, "Roman Sacrifice," Roman and European Mythologies (University of Chicago Press, 1992, from the French edition of 1981), p. 79.The discovery of two Romano-Celtic temples along with a possible guesthouse has been an exciting and significant find: "It alters our whole perception - Southwark was a major religious focus of the Roman capital," said Ms Rosenberg. Ollae were used for funerary purposes from earliest times. In Italic inhumations, ollae might be placed with the body in the tomb as grave goods, sometimes with a ladle or dipper. [12] A tomb from a 7th-century BC necropolis at Civita Castellana yielded an olla decorated with a pair of horses and a Faliscan inscription. [13] From the 3rd century BC ( Mid-Republic) into the 2nd century AD of the Imperial era, cremation was the most characteristic means of disposing of a body among the Romans. Ollae shifted function to hold cremated remains for entombment, a practice of Etruscan as well as Italic burials. [14] The remains of those of modest means might be contained in earthenware ollae placed on the shelves of an ollarium or columbarium. [15] Sacrificial use [ edit ]

Olla is a generic word for a cooking pot, such as would be used for vegetables, porridge, pulse and such. [6] The 1st-century BC scholar Varro gives an "absurd" etymology [7] that derives the word for vegetables, olera or holera, from olla; although as a matter of scientific linguistics the derivation may be incorrect, it indicates that cookery was considered essential to the pot's function. [8] Isidore of Seville said that the word olla derived from ebullit, "it boils up," and describes a patera as an olla with the sides flattened out more broadly. [9] It was a word of ordinary usage, and does not appear in literary works by Vergil, Horace, and Ovid. Fine ware, as the name suggests, was more decorative than coarse ware. Fine ware was used for dining on special occasions. Unlike coarse ware, fine ware was thinner and more delicate. It often had beautiful decorations and a shiny glaze.
