The must or new wine was partly used for drinking as soon as ready, partly decocted into a sort of jelly (_defrutum_), and partly stowed in cellars in large casks or jars (_dolia_); in the latter case after being fermented for nine days it was covered up and sealed. The commoner kinds were drunk direct from the _dolia_, the finer sorts drawn off into amphorae and stored up. On the marble reliefs here given (No. =518=; fig. 210) we have a representation of the conversion of the must into _defrutum_: two men are attending to a caldron placed over a fire, while a third is pouring wine from an amphora into another caldron, and a fourth is waiting to fill a jug from the same. In the lowest part of the Case is exhibited the upper part of an amphora with long neck and two handles (whence the frequent term _diota_), as an example of those used for the storage of wine. The terracotta figure of a man carrying a wineskin and one of these _diotae_ (No. =519=), and a Roman lamp depicting slaves carrying casks of wine, should also be noted (No. =520=). The cultivation of the olive is well illustrated by a black-figured vase of the sixth century B.C. (No. =521=; fig. 211), showing a primitive method of gathering the fruit: a youth has climbed to the top of the tree, and he and two men are beating the branches with sticks to bring the fruit down, while another youth collects it in a vessel. This method is expressly condemned by Varro, an early Roman writer on agriculture.[63] In order to extract the oil from the pulp of the fruit, it was necessary to use a press of some kind, such as we see on the terracotta relief here exhibited (No. =522=; fig. 212), of the first century B.C. Here the press consists of flat stones between which layers of olives are placed; to the uppermost stone is fastened a long pole, which serves as a lever, and is being worked by two Satyrs; round the press a rope is wound many times. Compare the large vase in the Hall of Inscriptions (_Cat. of Sculpture_, 2502). [Illustration: FIG. 212.--SATYRS AT OIL-PRESS (NO. 522). Ht. 7 in.] The remaining objects in this Case are mostly illustrative of men or beasts of burden engaged in agricultural and kindred occupations, such as the goat-herd depicted on a Roman lamp, to whom the name of Titurus is applied, with reference to Virgil's first Eclogue (No. =523=; fig. 213). The bronze figure of a donkey (No. =524=) with panniers recalls the ornament of Trimalchio's dinner-table described by Petronius, and may have served a similar purpose. Model panniers, and terracottas of a donkey and a camel with the panniers laden with rural produce, should also be noted. Several model carts from Amathus, in terracotta, are either flat-bottomed, for general use, or in vase-shape, for the transport of wine or other liquids (No. =525=).
