History

A Roman glass ‘circus beaker’. One of two found in a 3rd-century AD princely burial at Himlingoje, Denmark. Named after the images of animals from the Roman arena. Fourteen circus beakers have been found in Denmark from Roman glass workshops in Rhineland.#RomanArchaeology pic.twitter.com/VDYN94aljy
