Cista Ficoroni is a Roman bronze container for toiletries. It is dated to the 4th century BCE.<\/p>\n
An inscription describing the circumstances of the vessel’s creation is also engraved on the lid: it was made in workshop of Novios Plautios for a woman named Dindia Macolnia, who ordered it for her daughter.<\/p>\n
The vessel has the shape of a cylinder, supported on three legs (including one made already in modern times) in the form of a lion’s paws, topped with a relief in the form of three figures probably representing Heracles, Eros and Jolaos. Its lid is crowned by a figural group showing Dionysus in the company of two satyrs.<\/p>\n
On the surface of the vessel was engraved a scene depicting an episode from the myth of the Argonauts’ expedition to the golden fleece: after arriving in the land of Bebiar sailors want to draw water from the source, but they are challenged by the reigning king<\/a> Amykos to a boxing duel. Castor and Pollux fight against the king, whom they defeat and attach the defeated ruler to the tree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":36983,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"kategorie_ciekawostek":[61],"class_list":["post-51086","ciekawostki","type-ciekawostki","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategorie_ciekawostek-artifact"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki\/51086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ciekawostki"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki\/51086\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategorie_ciekawostek","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategorie_ciekawostek?post=51086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
