THE GILDED GLASSES OF THE CATACOMBS.'

By O. M. DALTON, M.A., F.S.A.

DESCRIPTION OF PLATES.

PLATE I.

Bottom of a glass drinking vessel; a husband and wife with a small figure of Hercules. Inscription: ORFITVS ET COSTANTIA IN NOMINE HERCVLIS ACERENTINO FELICES BIBATIS. The word ACERENTINO perhaps stands for ACHERVNTINI, the epithet being given to Hercules in honour of his rescue of Alcestis. It may, however, be divided into two words, A CERENTINO, when the sense would be "drink of Cerentine wine." Garrucci, Vetri, Plate XXXV, Fig. 1. C.I.L. 7036. Diam. 4.26 in. In the British Museum Collection.

PLATE II.

Bottom of a glass bowl; a gladiator (retiarius). On his left shoulder is seen the galerus, a piece of armour peculiar to gladiators, and on a cippus in the background an inflated skin, corycus or follis pugilatorius, used in boxing exercises. Inscriptions: PIE ZESES, and STRATONICAE BENE VICISTI VADE IN AVRELIAM. Aurelia is probably the province of that name in Cisalpine Gaul.

Fröhner, La Collection Tyszkiewicz: Choix de monuments, &c., Plate VIII, Fig. 3. In the British Museum Collection.

PLATE III.

Bottom of a glass drinking vessel; Daniel killing the dragon of Bel with the poisoned cake. Behind him a figure of Our Lord.

Diam. 3:56 in. Garrucci, Vetri, Plate III, Fig. 13, and Storia, Plate CLXXIII, Fig. 14.

In the British Museum Collection.

Glass disc, probably the cover of a cup. A Cupid with a hoop, etched in gold foil on a dark red ground. From Crete.

Diam. 3.3 in. In the British Museum.

PLATE V.

Glass bowl found at Canosa with two millefiore dishes and other glass vessels. The lower part, from the band of scrolls downwards, is protected by a second bowl, so that the design, which is executed in gold leaf, is enclosed between two layers of glass. Diam. 8 in. In the British Museum.
