Capis

(also called Capēdo, Capŭla, and Capeduncŭla). A small earthen vessel or pitcher used in sacrifices. It had handles and is sometimes spoken of as a pitcher (urceolus), and sometimes as a cup (poculum). It is joined with the lituus among the sacred implements of the augurs, and both are often represented together on coins and medals.
