Description
Summary:In this article, the authors analyze a fragment of a glass bottle from the Roman villa of Veranes (Asturias, Spain) that has an engraved inscription. Based on a study of the characteristics, epigraph, and context of the glass, they have determined the typology and purpose of the vessel from which the fragment came, as well as its manner of production in relation to similar glass items found in the Iberian Peninsula and other Roman regions. The message conveyed by the vessel encourages the owner to enjoy life and presents an ideal of aristocratic life—the type of message often found in scenes of lavish banquets.
