An olive crusher displayed in the House of the Ship Europa, Pompeii

            Immediately west of the fauces is a room in which is displayed an olive crusher. The olive crusher was designed to separate the pulp of the olives from the stones, which were thought to impair the flavour of the oil produced. It consisted of a deep circular basin of lava, so hollowed out as to leave a central pinion on which was fitted a revolving wooden crosspiece carrying two wheels of lava, each having the shape of a half lens. The wheels were carefully balanced so that they would not press against the sides of the basin and crush the stones of the olives.
