Ancient Roman spoons are commonly classified in two main types: 
While the ligula (pl. ligulae) featured a rather generously sized, often oval bowl (also called head) and a handle with rounded end or finial, the cochlearium (pl. cochlearia) had a usually smaller bowl and was characterized by a straight handle tapering into a sharp point. 

This reproduction of a cochlearium with circular, rather shallow bowl is made of brass and features a sharp end. This nice piece of Roman cutlery lends itself perfectly for Living History purposes and is a great addition to any Roman reenactor's equipment.
