The Cup of Aristeas the Cyprian from Burnum

Igor Borzić

Sažetak

The article focuses on the luxurious mould-blown glass discovered
during research at the Burnum-Amphitheatre site, first and
foremost the fragments of what was most likely a globular cup
which in an inscription field features the three-line text ARI[CTEA]/
CKY[ΠRIO]/CEΠO[IEI], while a vegetable ornament adorns the
central frieze. This is only the fourth example of a vessel made
by Aristeas (Albonese, Pavia - Collezione Strada; unknown findsite
- Constable-Maxwell Collection; Narona - Augusteum) which
makes this find particularly interesting. Given the typology of the
vessel and its decoration, this was obviously the work of a master
craftsman who was closely associated with Ennion, and this article
emphasizes the basic problems tied to the designation of its
Cyprian origin, the location and time of the workshop’s operation
and the distribution of its products. The finds of products made
by Ennion and Aristeas in Dalmatian territory show that trade was
quite vigorous here, particularly in military strongholds (Tilurium
and Burnum) and civilian (Narona) hubs.
