Summary

This book tells the unique story of this exquisitely crafted Roman silver drinking cup, engraved with erotic scenes. Created in the first century AD, and after being condemned to undeserved obscurity for too long, the cup shows a pair of male lovers in explicit homoerotic scenes that reflect the mores of the time and region in which the cup was created and used.

The Object in Focus: The Warren Cup by Dyfri Williams

The Warren Cup is a remarkably important masterpiece of Roman art, created in the first century AD. This book examines the history, both ancient and modern, that the Warren Cup has to tell. It also attempts to set the cup in its ancient contexts - where and when it was made; where and when it was found; and by whom it was used.
