CYM'BIUM (κυμβίον). A drinking bowl, with two handles (Apul. Met. xi. p. 239.), so called from a certain resemblance in its outline to the bark termed cymba (Festus, s. v. Macrob. Saturn. v. 21.), as is exemplified by the annexed example (Cymbium/1.1), from a bronze original found at Pompeii. It was sometimes employed for containing milk (Virg. Aen. iii. 66.), and was also made of the precious metals (Virg. Aen. v. 267.), as well as of earthenware. Mart. Ep. viii. 6.
