I am selling a reproduction of this famous Roman craticula, which was possibly carried by the Roman legionnairies during the conquest of Europe and Britain up to Hadrian's wall.
Our steel reproduction is in original size and its dimensions are similar to the Pompeii craticula shown in Naples' National museum:
66cms x 44 cms x 37 cms (26" x 17" x 14.5")
Weight (all iron) 17.5 kgs (39 lbs)
We have an old drawing from Pompeii showing this iron grill and stove as it was found under the lava.
They explain:
The sliding rods are adjustable to the size of food to be cooked thereon. Th
Pans of various sizes would rest on these rods.
In the rear are two openings to hold the caccabus, or stewpot.
A craticula usually rested on top of a stationary brick oven or range (to be seen in various places in Pompeii).
The set of cooking utensils shown on the photo is not included in this offer, it is available as item No. AH3982SET.
As it is moveable, may I add, it is well possible that legionnaires took a craticula with them to use it over an open fire in resting places during their marches to battle fields.
The roughness of the specimen shown is caused by corrosion and lava adhering to its metal frame.
