Summary edit

Description
English: Paris, Louvre Museum The Boscoreale treasure was buried by its owner prior to the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79. It included a remarkable set of tableware reflecting the quality of Roman silverwork in the 1st century AD. The decoration on these two cups illustrates the fragility and vanity of the human condition: Epicurean maxims (engraved in dots) and the skeletons of poets and Greek philosophers represent an invitation to enjoy the present.
