    Form: coffers may have been filled with bronze rosette designs similar to stars.
    Function: may have been used as a setting for court rituals
    Content: interior contains slightly convex flooring for water drainage
    Context: Found in Rome, Italy
    Interpretation: May have been used for court rituals and not only worship of the gods
    Tradition/ Change: Romans had many gods that they worshiped like the Greeks and Egyptians and built temples where more than one god could be worshiped at the same time.
