INCITE'GA (ἐγγυθήκη). A bottle-stand or case for holding cruets, decanters, and other vessels which had round or pointed bottoms so that they could not stand alone. (Festus. s. v. Fea ad Hor. Sat. i. 6. 116.) Of course they were made of different forms, sizes, and patterns, in accordance with the particular use to which they were applied and the taste of the designer. The example (Incitega/1.1) introduced represents an earthenware cruet-stand with two glass bottles in it, from an original found in Pompeii, very similar to those still in use; but another kind very generally adopted was an open frame upon three or more legs, like our trivets, made of silver, bronze, or wood (Athen. Deipn. v. 45.), of which the excavations of Pompeii and Egypt have furnished various specimens.
