Sex and society in Ancient Greece and Rome
The Warren Cup is a Roman silver drinking cup
dating to the 1st century AD. It is decorated with sexual
scenes showing two pairs of male lovers.
To mark the publication of a new book by Dyfri Williams, this
small exhibition offers a close focus on this drinking vessel and
its cultural context.
