Roman Glass Gladiator Cup in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, July 2007
Glass gladiator cup
Roman, mold-blown, ca. 50-80 AD
Accession # 81.10.245
The scene around the cup depicts four pairs of gladiators fighting. Each man is identified by name in the Latin inscription above him. Some of the names match those of known gladiators who became famous in games held in Rome during the Julio-Claudian period, suggesting that such cups may have been made as souvenirs.
