Imagine you’re at a Roman banquet, looking forward to a possible orgy later, and some server rocks up to you with this cup, filled with wine so that angry little dude is just floating in it. Terrifying. I want one. [ID: A shallow, broad silver bowl with a wide flat base. Set inside the bowl, in the middle of the base, is a man’s head and shoulders, so that it looks like he’s emerging from a pool. The man is visibly elderly, with short hair, high cheekbones, a narrow nose, and a scowling mouth. When filled, only his face and part of his head would be visible, as if he was bathing in wine.] -- source link
