Hi!<br>
<br>
I know there are archaeological examples of 'canteens'. although I'm not so sure they are, but what do I know? But what are the sources (if any) for water carriers of any sort in Roman statuary, paintings, carvings et al?<br>
<br>
Are there clay water jugs? Water skins? (leather and/or pig bladder?) Gourds?<br>
<br>
Any scraps of information would be appreciated .... <p></p><i></i>
