PULTA'RIUS. Properly a vessel in which pottage (puls) was served up. It was made in the form of an inverted funnel (Pallad. vi. 7. 2. Compare Columell. ix. 15. 5.), with a broad bottom and narrow mouth, which may be easily conceived in the absence of any authentic specimen; and was likewise employed for other purposes to which such a figure adapted itself, as a cupping-glass (Celsus, ii. 11.), and a vessel for drinking out of. (Plin. H. N. vii. 54. Pet. Sat. 42. 2.)
