Cauldron

Cauldron (Latin: cortina) is a utensil used for cooking and boiling food. It was widely used in culinary practices in all ancient states. The inner surface of the cauldron was sometimes treated with food coatings, such as tinning. Cauldrons could be made of various metals, most commonly iron and copper alloys. The cauldron itself could be either seamless or riveted.

Numerous cauldron findings have been made in the Celtic territories, where they were actively used for brewing. An example of a Celtic cauldron is the cauldron from Lios. A Roman subtype of small cauldrons was often referred to as a situla.
