Ancient Roman Bronze Bowl - Used in Libation Rituals
Circa 1st-3rd century AD
This bronze bowl presents a rounded base and a broad body with flaring walls and a smooth finish.
Roman libation rituals were religious ceremonies in which liquid offerings were poured out as a form of devotion or sacrifice to the gods. Libations were typically made with wine, but other liquids such as milk, honey, or oil could also be used. These rituals were a common part of both public and private worship in ancient Rome and were often performed at religious festivals, before meals, or during significant life events such as births, marriages, and funerals. The act of pouring a libation was intended to honour the gods, ask for protection, or seek blessings. In public ceremonies, priests or religious officials would perform the libation, while in private households, the paterfamilias (head of the family) usually led the ritual. Libations were often poured onto altars, statues of deities, or directly onto the ground as an offering to the gods of the earth and underworld. The ritual was an integral part of Roman religion, symbolising piety, respect, and the bond between humans and the divine.
