cochlearium
A cochlearium (plural cochlearia) was a small Roman spoon with a long tapering handle. ==History== Cochlearia have been found in a number of Roman sites from the 4th and 5th centuries CE, including the Thetford〔(British Museum ) retrieved 27 June 2010〕 and Hoxne Hoards. The word ''cochlea'' has a literal meaning of spiral or snail shell, leading many to conclude that the design of the spoon was so that the handle could be used to get snails or cockles out of the shell.〔 A cochlearium, cochlear or cochleare are used as a Roman reference for a liquid measure being a spoonful. A cochlearium was also used to refer to a place where snails could be bred for eating.
