This luxurious silver cup was used at Roman dinner parties. The cup originally had two handles and depicts two pairs of male lovers. One side shows two teenage boys making love, while the other shows a young man lowering himself onto the lap of his elder, bearded lover. A slave-boy peers in voyeuristically from behind a door. The luxurious fabrics and musical instruments indicate that these scenes are set in a world heavily influenced by Greek culture, which the Romans admired and largely adopted. What was the Roman attitude to relationships between men? Images like this were not unusual The Warren Cup the Roman world. Some of the boys on this cup are underage by today's standards, but the Romans tolerated relationships between older and younger men. Relationships between men were part The Warren Cup Greek and Roman culture, from slaves to emperors, most famously the emperor Hadrian and his Greek lover, Antinous. Today such ancient images remind us that the way societies view sexuality is never fixed. This Roman silver cup is a fascinating and very versatile object, combining drinking, money and sex all in one! To the Romans it was a drinking cup The Warren Cup be used not just admired. Picture a dinner party, course after course of exotic food and lots of fine wine. The guests talk about politics and love as they pass round the table this luxurious, tactile silver cup. Their host is delighted that they admire its decoration and its value.

What kept the piece out of permanent museum collections untiland ensured that its purchase by the British Museum earned it a place in all the British media? One side of the cup shows two teenage males, The Warren Cup the other shows two older men, all of them caught in the act of making love. The older men are watched by a peeping-tom, a young slave who spies on them from behind the door. Were the dinner party guests offended by this? Probably not at all. The Warren Cup of love-making The Warren Cup everywhere in Roman art. The cup is unique today, but in Roman times there were many others. Same sex relationships? Love and sex between men, often of differing ages, was part of Greek The Warren Cup Roman culture. One of the boys looks underage to us, but he was of marrying age to the Romans. It also allows a glimpse into the private life of the Romans, challenging our traditional view of how they lived and loved. Today some people take the cup out of its Roman context and see it as a symbol, either of sexual liberation, an affirmation of gay identity and proof of this identity through time, or of ancient decadence and a cautionary lesson in modern liberalism.

Comments are closed for this object. Complain about this comment. What makes you say some of the boys are underage by our standards? Why is it said that women would not have been present at the party? Respectable women were not present at Greek symposia 'drinking-parties' but they were present at Roman dinner-parties. Now, The Warren Cup we all get carried away saying how wonderful it would be to emulate the enlightened Roman attitudes to sexuality shown on the Warren cup, we may want to bear a few points in mind. First, committed homosexual relationships between adults were frowned upon and ridiculed: gay sex was encouraged only between adult, married men and adolescent boys. Second, the boys were not supposed to enjoy the advances of the men, but to reject them: to encourage such attentions was considered effeminate. Third, homosexual advances were often though not apparently in this case forced upon slaves, who had no right of consent or rejection. If consent, adulthood and fidelity to a single partner are considered normative in today's society, modern gay people should really hesitate before lauding Greco-Roman norms as a benchmark of sexual liberation, the work on this The Warren Cup included.

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.

  • 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.
