An ancient Roman water vessel or jug, typically used for storing or pouring liquids.
From Latin guttus or guttulum, a small pitcher or jug; the word may relate to gutta (a drop) because of its pouring function.
Archaeologists find guttus vessels in Roman ruins across Europe, and they show how even 2,000 years ago, humans designed different containers for different purposes—a guttus was specifically shaped for controlled pouring.
