Probably the finest known example of the Roman silversmith’s art:
Silver cup with Athena seated from the Hildesheim treasure, discovered on October 17, 1868 on Galgenberg Hill in Hildesheim, Germany. Dating from the first century AD, this cup may have been owned and used by the commander of the lost Varus legions.
The image isn’t stolen at all, since I released it to the Public Domain. Thanks for using it.
