Definition
A large ancient Roman or Greek two-handled water vessel or storage jar, similar to an amphora.
Etymology
From Greek 'di-' (two) + 'ous' (ear), literally meaning 'two-eared,' referring to the two handles. The term appears in classical archaeology and ancient history.
Kelly Says
Ancient sailors and farmers used diotas to store wine, oil, and water for long journeys—and archaeologists can still find them buried in Mediterranean sites, perfectly preserved after 2,000 years!
