No, I don't think they will! :-)) Hugs and kisses from me, please!

Portable one, yes. There's a write-up on it in "Food in Antiquity" -- my
copy of which sits in a box in California. (Old song, new verse, eh?) I'm
trying to track down a paper on them as well. The one image I've seen of a
re-created one is essentially a rounder terra cotta Dutch oven!

>Plain terra cotta should be all right.

That's what I thought. Now that I'm out here in the boonies, I have land to
play with, and am working on setting up "historical kitchens". I'm starting
out with two projects, a Roman "hob", and a bread oven, using Thora
Sharptooth's instructions.  To go along with the "kitchens", I'm working on
gardens. The herb garden is going in first, this first year to be based on
Romano-British (and a bit of American Civil War Southern era, too)
research. (When in doubt, Rosemary and Garlic! :-))

How about Etruscan re-enactment? ;-))

Oh, and mine are all perverts! They lick your toes and fall asleep in your
armpit. I'll send you pics as soon as I get the new ones developed.
