Файл:Bronze batillum (incense shovel) MET DP20384.jpg
Bronze batillum, late 1st–early 2nd century A.D.

Batillum or vatillum was an ancient Roman iron shovel with a short handle used for various purposes, especially as a fire-shovel, chafing-dish, and for burning incense.[1]

Etymology

The name is possibly related to battualia "the exercise of soldiers and gladiators in fighting and fencing" which is related to the English verb to beat or to vas a vessel (in some Latinate languages 'b' and 'v' can be interchangeable).[2]
