Roman terracotta toy and a baby bottle in one, in the shape of a pig.<\/p>\n

According to scientists, the item could belong to a newborn girl or a pregnant woman – who died 2,400 years ago. The vessel could serve as both a drinking vessel and a baby rattle. The object is probably part of the Messapians’ culture, which was conquered by the Romans during the Third Samnite War (298 – 290 BCE). These people lived in the territory of today’s Apulia.<\/p>\n

Italian archaeologists found the object in 2013 in a tomb in Manduria, near Taranto, Italy<\/a>. The item was filled with terracotta balls. The tomb contained the remains of two people who were probably family. According to the Messapic culture, family members were buried together.<\/p>\n

In the tomb, 30 different objects were found, including: two terracotta figurines of a woman, three dishes for a child (including the described “pig”), jars, vases, and plates. An iron knife in the tomb suggests that a man was buried, and a traditional vase – called a trozzella – that the other person was a woman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":36582,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"kategorie_ciekawostek":[61],"class_list":["post-112645","ciekawostki","type-ciekawostki","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategorie_ciekawostek-artifact"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki\/112645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ciekawostki"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki\/112645\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategorie_ciekawostek","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategorie_ciekawostek?post=112645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
