The Warren Cup is rare among Roman artifacts in showing male-male intercourse, and is graphic even by ancient Athenian standards. Controversially dated to the early empire, is this silver cup making a deliberately risqué statement about Rome’s relationship with Greek culture for a clientele that swapped stories about Julius Caesar’s supposed affair with the King of Bithynia? Or is it a modern fake? It gets its name from Edward Perry Warren who bought it from a dealer in 1911.
