Context:
|
These silver cups represent Roman metalwork of the highest quality. They were undoubtedly produced by one of the leading Roman workshops that supplied the imperial family as well as affluent, cultured, private individuals - the same clientele for whom the villas around Rome and Naples were built, decorated, and furnished. |
