陶器的祖先罗马人在很多方面都有非凡的成就。

当你真正触摸到那时的餐具，厨房用具或是两耳细颈酒罐（在地中海区域用于运输和储存液体的大罐子，像是酒和油）的时候，就很容易能够欣赏到它的高质量了。

但是，看起来罗马器具几乎是不可能再现在纸上的，即使照片和绘画能带回那些语言。

大部分罗马的陶器是很轻的，并且摸起来非常光滑，坚硬，即使像所有的陶器一样，如果掉在硬面上就会摔碎。

一般这种陶器是由精心挑选和纯化泥土制成，在快速转轮上形成有薄壁和标准化的形状并且在窑（陶器烤炉）中烧制到能够保持永久不变的形状。

手工制作的陶器，不可避免同样设计的容器间有一些个体差异，偶尔会出现小缺陷。

但是，最吸引人眼球，立即能让人感受到的，罗马陶器最有力量的，就是持续的高质量。

这不光是作为审美考虑，也与实用性有关。

这些容器都是实心的（易碎，但不脆弱），它们舒适并且易于拿握（轻并且光滑），除此之外，由于它们坚硬有时光亮透明的表面，他们的很好的承载了液体，并且容易清洗。

此外，他们有规律和标准化的形状使得他们易于堆放。

当现在的人向人展示一个常见的罗马瓶的时候，尤其是，可以又把手拿起的，他们经常评论说这个瓶子看起来感觉起来是多么现代，他们需要去被告知说服它的真实年龄。

罗马陶器与质量一样出众的另一特点就是其巨大的数量。

当提到数量时，我们习惯于理想化的去估计一个特定生产点的生产总数，和某一个居住地区的总消费数量。

不幸的是，考古学证据的自然特性决定了每一个样本都是不同的，因此这样的数据图形是难以捉摸的。

但是，没有在这个领域工作的人会质疑罗马陶器的繁盛，特别是在地中海地区。

这种繁盛在罗马居住区是显著的，尤其是在城市地区，在这些地方，考古人员必须将陶瓷碎片进行清洗和分类，这些工作在挖掘初期的工作中占据了很大的比重。

我们只能从少量的陶器废墟中去推算“真实的”数量。

但是，有一个废墟是个例外，它代表了大部分遗址的历史消耗量，通过消耗量就可以建立起生产数据。

在罗马Tiber河的左岸，在一个古老城市的河港口旁边，
