archaicwonder:Roman Cage Cup, 4th Century ADRoman glass beaker (aka vas diatretum, plural diatreta, or “reticulated cup”) from second half of the 4th century. Found in Cologne, now in the Staatliche Antikensammlung Munich. There are only 50 beakers of this kind left, most are broken. The characters at the top say “Bibe multis annis” short for “Bibe vivas multis annis” (Drink and you will live for many years”). -- source link
