1st C. Roman Cochlearium (for Snails / Shellfish)

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $300**

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to early 2nd century CE. A set of two brass Roman spoons known as a cochlearium, designed specifically for eating snails or shellfish- the handles narrow into a points at the end for use as a pick to extract gastropods from their shells. Snails were a popular dish in Roman times - cochlea is Latin for "snail," and the best Roman villas had pens in the garden for raising snails. Farmers fed their snails fresh milk to fatten and enhance the flavor of these creatures; cochlearium spoons were certainly necessary utensils when snails were served regularly! Size: 6.25" L x 1.5" W (15.9 cm x 3.8 cm)

Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
