EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "An Ancient Delight: The Fountain Rhyton of Pontios - A Masterpiece from the Early Augustan Period" This image showcases a remarkable piece of Roman art, the Fountain in the form of a horn-shaped drinking cup, or rhyton, signed by Pontios. Dating back to the Early Augustan period, around the 1st century BC, this masterpiece is carved from Pentelic marble and hails from the revered Capitoline Museums in Rome, Italy. The rhyton, an intriguing fusion of a fountain and a drinking cup, is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of ancient Roman artisans. The horn-shaped vessel is adorned with intricate fluting and a relief design that depicts various scenes from Greek mythology. The exterior is decorated with figures of gods and goddesses, including Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry, and his followers, who are shown frolicking and celebrating. The interior of the rhyton features an ingenious design, with a small opening at the base that allows water to flow into the cup when inverted. This ingenious feature transformed the rhyton into a functional fountain, making it a popular choice for grand banquets and feasts. The Early Augustan period marked a time of great cultural and artistic development in Rome, and the Fountain Rhyton of Pontios is a prime example of the exquisite craftsmanship and creativity that flourished during this era. Its discovery and preservation in the Capitoline Museums allows us to appreciate the rich history and artistic achievements of ancient Rome. This magnificent piece of Roman art stands as a reminder of the enduring allure of classical antiquity, inviting us to explore the stories, traditions, and artistic innovations that have shaped our world.
