Acetabulum (volume)

Acetabulum (volume)

In Ancient Roman measurement, the acetabulum was a measure of volume, fluid, and dry, equivalent to the Greek polytonic|ὀξύβαφον. It was one-fourth of the hemina and therefore one-eighth of the sextarius. It contained the weight in water of fifteen Attic drachmae.
