Skyphos number two! Inspired by the very talented @hellenhighwater ‘s Minotaur sculpture, a painting by Flandrin, a sculpture by Paul Cabet, and a very handsome charolais bull from Google images.
A silver cup portraying the triumph of future emperor Tiberius. One side shows Tiberius in a triumphal chariot pulled by four horses (quadriga), and the other side shows a bull being sacrificed.
The cup is part of the so-called Boscoreale treasure, a collection of ancient Roman silverware discovered in a villa near Pompeii and buried by Vesuvius in 79 AD.
The reliefs on the cup are probably a copy of an existing monument that didn't survive.
Actaeon, in the process of transforming into a deer, is set upon by his hounds. Apulian red-figure skyphos, artist unknown; ca. 400-350 BCE. Now in the Badisches Landesmuseum Karlsruhe, Germany. Photo credit: Carole Raddato.

"On the obverse, two lions stand confronted with their chests touching and their faces turned backwards towards the vessel’s handles. Each of the lions is rendered in black paint. Their manes, mouths, chests and bellies are all detailed with red paint, while the locks of hair along their necks alternate in color between red and black. Details of the lions’ anatomy are articulated with incisions. Their ferocity is implied especially by their open mouths, which display their large teeth and projecting tongues. On reverse, a complex interlocking lotus and palmette motif fills the entire pictorial field. The rim and handles of the vessel are decorated with thin linear bands. The lions and the lotus and palmette motif stand atop a red bounding line, below which is a pair of gridded lines and another red bounding line, which is in turn bordered by a ray pattern that emanates from the cup’s foot."

“Small drinking cups with owl and olive branch were popular in 5th century Athens. The owl was particularly associated with Athena, the patron goddess of Athens. The motif of owl with olive symbolized Athens and was derived from the city's famous coinage.”
