TRULLA

TRULLA

1. A ladle for stirring and skimming (=τορύνη), in which sense trua also is used.

2. Trulla vinaria, a sort of ladle used like a cyathus for taking wine from the crater (Varro, L. L. 5.118; Cic. Ver. 4.2. 7, 62; Hor. Sat. 2.3, 144). It probably differed from the cyathus in having a shallower and flatter bowl at the end of its long handle (manubrium). The material was various, wooden or copper (Cat. Agr. 13), silver (Cic. l. c. or murrhina (Plin. Nat.37.20). The passage in Mart. 9.37is altogether incompatible with the notion (for which there is no authority) that the trulla had holes like a strainer.

3. A mason's trowel for plastering walls, whence trullisare (Pallad. R. R. 1.13; Isid. Orig. 19.18). This meaning also negatives the idea of its being perforated.

[J.Y] [G.E.M]

Trulla

(τρουλλίον). (1) A sort of ladle or dipper, practically the same as trua, of which this word is a diminutive. See trua.

(2) (τρύβλιον). Either used separately, or with the epithet vinaria. A drinking-cup, or utensil employed for taking the wine out of a larger recipient, which contained a quantity mixed with snow. It was a species of cyathus (q. v.), being furnished with an inner case perforated as a strainer, and fitting into the hollow bowl of the cup, so that when adjusted together the two would form but one body, which might be conveniently dipped into the large vessel, and filled; then, by removing the perforated case, any sediment or impurity deposited by the snow would be removed with it from the pure liquid left in the bowl (Cic. Verr. ii. 4, 27; Varro, L. L. v. 118; Pliny , Pliny H. N. xxxvii. 7).

(3) The pan of a night-stool (Juv. iii. 118).

(4) A fire-basket of iron used for carrying hot coals from place to place (Livy, xxxvii. 11).
