Most of its history is shrouded in mystery, until american collector Dyfri Williams and namesake Edward Warren bought the cup in Rome, 1911. The Warren Cup was included in Neil MacGregor’s “A History Of The World In 100 Objects”. THE PRIDE CUP SERIES 4 Re-imagined in full colour: Introducing the Pride Cups Eight solid silver cups, designed and created by Hal Messel Inspired by the Warren Cup, one of the British Museum’s most important items Designed to challenge society’s attitudes to sexuality Coloured through an experimental technique Referencing the eight original colours of the LGBT flag Officially endorsed by Stonewall, the leading LGBT charity in Europe *NB: Image is computer generated to show finish and is not an exact representation.

The Silversmith titans; Omar Ramsden, Paul Storr and Faberge, are amongst his greatest inspirations. THE PRIDE CUP SERIES 6 A unique opportunity: The Mould In 1998, a year before the British Museum purchased the Warren cup (still the most they’ve paid to date for a piece), Sir Claude Hankes commissioned the Museum of Bern to take a mould. He gave Hal the mould and his blessing to use it for this project. The mould is an exact and perfect representation of the Warren Cup, apart from a straightening of the base which is bent on the original. It is the only mould in existence and can never be taken again. THE PRIDE CUP SERIES 7 The Plan Hal will create 8 solid silver chalices Hal’s father, Thomas Messel, one of inspired by the Warren Cup in the 8 Britain’s most respected furniture SEX colours of the original LGBT flag. makers, will design and build 8 individually unique boxes, one to The cups will be silver like the hold each cup, representative of the LIFE original but, through an experimental meaning behind each colour. technique, treated so the colours of the flag are visible.

NATURE Fundamentally we are asking how far have society’s attitudes to HARMONY / PEAECE sexuality moved in the 2000 years since the cup was made? SPIRIT ART / MAGIX THE PRIDE CUP SERIES 8 Project Launch The Pride Cups will be launched in the Enlightenment Gallery at the British Museum, the home of the original Warren Cup, in July 2019 to coincide with Pride week in London. We are anticipating a broad spread of coverage in the national press who will be present at the event. Following launch, we are looking for the perfect partner to display the Pride Cups, a unique venue open to the press and the public. This is an opportunity to challenge society to think again about sexual attitudes through a project with an engaging and inclusive story. THE PRIDE CUP SERIES 9 Raising money for a good cause We are delighted to say that this project has been officially endorsed by the leading LGBT equality charity Stonewall. Stonewall was founded in 1989 by a small group of people who had been active in the struggle against Section 28 of the Local Government Act. Since then Stonewall has campaigned for the equality of LGBT people across the UK and the World. Stonewall receives no core government funding and funds are instead raised in a variety of ways including donations, sponsorship and fundraising events. Hal is planning to eventually sell the cups and a significant amount of the money raised will be donated to this excellent cause.

Roman aqueducts , also based on the arch, were commonplace in the empire and essential transporters of water to large urban areas. The Romans also made frequent use of the semicircular arch, typically without resorting to mortar: relying instead on the precision of their stonework. The heads of the Marcus Aurelius figures are larger than normal, to show off their facial expressions. However it never lost its distinctive character, especially notable in such fields as architecture, portraiture, and historical relief. This led to a popular trend among the ancient Romans of including one or more such statues in the gardens and houses of wealthier patrons. With the authenticity of the medallion more firmly established, Joseph Breck was prepared to propose a late 3rd to early 4th century date for all of the brushed technique cobalt blue-backed portrait medallions, some of which also had Greek inscriptions in the Alexandrian dialect.

  • The Ludovisi “Throne”, the Boston “Throne” and the Warren Cup: Retrospective Works Or Forgeries?
    SIRI SANDE The Ludovisi “throne”, the Boston “throne” and the Warren cup: Retrospective works or forgeries? Abstract The Ludovisi and Boston “thrones” are among the most discussed monuments in the history of art. It is here ar- gued that certain details on the “thrones” find their closest parallels among artefacts of the Augustan period such as decorative reliefs and candelabra, Arretine ware and silver work: notably the so-called Warren cup in the Brit- ish Museum. The “thrones” cannot therefore be dated to the early Classical period. But does that mean that they are Roman retrospective works? Both the “thrones” and lately also the Warren cup have been regarded by some scholars as forgeries. The author of this article strongly suspects that all three were created in the late 19th century. There are certain enigmas in Ancient art which continue to worry the collective subcon- sciousness of art historians. One is the authenticity of the so-called Boston “throne” (FIGS. 3- 4 a-b) , and, to a lesser degree, the Ludovisi “throne” (FIGS. 1-2 a-b). It is like exploring a loose tooth with the tip of the tongue. You do it now and then, to feel that it is dangling, but still in place. The debate over the so-called “thrones” has been going on since they appeared on the Roman art market at the end of the nineteenth century. In 1892, a few years after its discovery in 1887, E. Petersen published the Ludovisi “throne” as an Early Classical work (around 470 BC).1 In a long and well-researched article from 1911, F.

    SEX IN THE ANCIENT WORLD FROM A TO Z THE ANCIENT WORLD FROM A TO Z What were the ancient fashions in men’s shoes? How did you cook a tunny or spice a dormouse?

Volumes will cover key topics in ancient culture and society—from food, sex and sport to money, dress and domestic life. Each author will be an acknowledged expert in their field, offering readers vivid, immediate and academically sound insights into the fascinating details of daily life in antiquity. The main focus will be on Greece and Rome, though some volumes will also encompass Egypt and the Near East. The series will be suitable both as background for those studying classical subjects and as enjoyable reading for anyone with an interest in the ancient world.
