Dolia . ⚫Dolia were large vases or vessels used in ancient Roman times for storage or transportation of goods. ⚫It was a very large jug or container made of fired clay. ⚫Oval in shape, with a wide mouth and rim, it had no neck or handles and, in many cases, could measure up to six feet in height. ⚫Some dolia have a rounded body tapering into a flat bottom, while more frequently, dolia maintained a rounded bottom. ⚫They were lined with pitch or wax in order to contain or process liquids and solid foods. Dolia were also used in a thermopolium (plural thermopolia), a place where it was possible to purchase ready-to-eat food. ⚫Thermopolia being the forerunners of today’s restaurant, the items served are sometimes compared to modern fast food. . .
