Dynasty and Empire in the Age of Augustus: The Case of the Boscoreale Cups: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Dynasty and Empire in the Age of Augustus: The Case of the Boscoreale Cups" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The two silver skyphoi commonly known as the Boscoreale Cups of Augustus and Tiberius are indispensable for providing the documentation of one of the only two cycles of Roman imperial state reliefs to survive from the Julio-Claudian period. Ann Kuttner offers the first comprehensive examination of these historical treasures. Kuttner studies the Cups not only from the standpoint of art history but also as they relate to Augustan ideology and politics. When she began work on this book, the whereabouts of the Cups was unknown, and she had to rely on the illustrations in Monuments et Memoires (Fondation Eugen Pinot, 1901). The rediscovery of the Cups at the Louvre in late 1990 has allowed Kuttner to examine them directly.
