Answer 2

If you are asking what the Romans served their food on, they generally used hand-made pottery. One kind that the wealthier people liked was called "terra sigillata," a fine red pottery with a glossy surface, which often had designs engraved onto the surface. Poorer people used a more coarsely made, and less fancy, kind of pottery. The Romans had cooking pots, serving plates, bowls, storage jars, and flasks for drinking. the very wealthiest people had utensils (like spoons and forks) made from silver or gold.
