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.
