112. Glass beaker with figures of the gods The beaker of transparent, light greenish glass was hand blown in a mould. The beaker bears representations of equidistant ionic columns, which have capitals connected by hanging garlands. The figures of four deities are located in the spaces between the columns. Dionysus is represented by the figure facing to the right. He is dressed in a girded tunic. In his left hand, he holds a thyrsus and in his right hand, a bunch of grapes, on which a doglike animal leans, sitting at his feet. Mercury is dressed in a short costume, which falls across his left arm, whilst the upper part of his torso is naked. In his left hand, he carries a crooked staff, which rests on his shoulder, whilst his left hand is held at his side and holds a purse. The figure in a long robe with a trident in its left hand and a fish in its right hand represents Poseidon (Neptune). The last figure is covered by a tunic, holds a bird in its left hand and an unrecognisable object in its loose right hand. - Second half of the 1st century A.D. - H: 13 cm; Rim diam.: 6,5 cm; Base diam.: 4 cm. - Crnelo near Sticna, Slovenia. - NML, Ace. no.
