Brief discussion of British Museum's silver Roman cup decorated with gay sex scenes.
Description of the cup, it's modern history, a short biography of its first modern owner (who also commissioned Rodin's "The Kiss"), and a few remarks about ancient tableware and ancient attitudes to sexuality. Unsatisfying because it was too short and so the summing up seemed to have come out of nowhere.

Why these objects, some of them, have survived, why they are important, what they might tell me about the past.
