Urna est genus vasorum, receptaculum saepe contectum, collo plerumque angustiori super corpus rotundum ac basi pedaria. Urnae antiquitate receptaculis pecuniae, cineribus mortuorum, sortitioni, suffragiisque proderant.[1]

Antiqua urna Romana ex alabastro facta.
Antiqua urna crematoria Graeca, ca. 850 a.C.n.
