In ancient Rome, a coffer (or "cophinus") referred to a box or chest used for storing valuables, documents, or offerings. Coffers were often made of wood and decorated with intricate designs, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. Additionally, in architectural contexts, coffers are the recessed panels found in ceilings or vaults, which helped reduce weight while providing a decorative element.
