Farnese Cup
The Farnese Cup (Tazza Farnese) is a 2nd-century BC cameo cup of Hellenistic Egypt in four-layered sardonyx agate. It is 20 cm wide. ==History== After Octavian's conquest of Egypt in 31 BC, the Farnese Cup was acquired by the Treasury of Rome. It was later brought to Byzantium, then back west after this city was sacked in 1204 during the Fourth Crusade. By 1239 it was in the court of Frederick II,〔The first fully documented appearance according to (Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli website )〕 from which it then reached the Persian court of Herat or possibly Samarkand, where a contemporary drawing documents it;〔Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli〕 thence it found its way to the court of Alfonso of Aragon in Naples, where Angelo Poliziano saw it in 1458. Lorenzo the Magnificent finally purchased the famous "scutella di calcedonio" in Rome, in 1471. From there it came into the possession of the Farnese family through Margaret of Austria and thus into the Naples National Archaeological Museum〔Inv. MANN 27611.〕
