Fragmentary Bowl Base with St. Lawrence in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, March 2010
Fragmentary Bowl Base with St. Lawrence
Byzantine, from Rome
Made 400s
Inscribed in Latin: Lawrence; ...live in Christ [and in] Lawrence
Accession # 18.145.3
Saint Lawrence, a deacon who was martyred in Rome in 258, became one of the most revered martyrs of the Roman church.
Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
Gold Glass from Rome
Glass vessels with elaborate gold foil patterns on their bases were popular in Rome. The patterns, reflecting all aspects of Roman life, were encased between two layers of glass. Carefully chipped medallions, a number of these bases were found in the catacombs, underground burial chambers, used by all religions in the late Roman and early Byzantine era. The bases may have been placed there in celebration of feasts for the dead or to mark the location of tombs. Many reflect the growing importance of Saints Peter and Paul, the patron saints of Rome, to Christians of the city during the fourth century.
