Kraters were ancient Greek vessels used for diluting wine with water; they usually stood on a tripod in the dining room during a symposium (drinking party), where wine was mixed. Ancient wine was considerably stronger than its modern counterparts and often had to be mixed with water, honey, and spices. Kraters were made of metal or pottery and were often painted or elaborately ornamented. In Homer's Iliad, the prize offered by Achilles for the footrace at Patroclus's funeral games was a silver krater of Sidonian workmanship. The Greek historian Herodotus describes many enormous and costly kraters dedicated at temples or used in religious ceremonies to hold libations. Cf.

Ca. 100-300 AD. A stunning silver ring of a round, flat-section hoop and a gilded bezel setting embellished with four corner knobs.

Here she is depicted in a standing pose on a groundline, flanked by two short columns. She is portrayed robed, wearing her iconic Corinthian helmet, and holding a shield. The wearing of this type of ring was an act of veneration towards the goddess, as well as a powerful statement of the wearer’s own strength and wisdom. The heightened status of Minerva in ancient Roman culture is evident through the use of her imagery in jewelry, coins, and other artifacts. Minerva was seen as the patron goddess of Rome and a symbol of the city’s wealth.

Ca. 200-300 AD. A spatha sword characterized by its long, straight, and double-edged blade, which was designed to optimize thrusting and cutting motions. The sword is made of iron and features square shoulders, and parallel sides culminating in a pointed tip. The tapered tang of the sword developed into a small, disc-shaped finial. The handle of the spatha was typically made of wood, bone, or horn and was often adorned with decorative elements such as silver or gold inlays. The Roman spatha sword played a pivotal role in the military campaigns of the Roman Empire, as it allowed the Roman cavalry to engage in close combat with greater effectiveness. The sword's long, straight blade made it ideal for thrusting motions, while its double-edged design enabled the wielder to engage in cutting motions as well. This versatility made the Roman spatha a highly effective weapon in the hands of a skilled warrior.Size: L:665mm / W:50mm ; 530gProvenance: Property of a UK teacher; formerly acquired from a 1970s/80s UK collection.
