介绍（中）	这些银杯代表了最高质量的罗马金属制品。毫无疑问，它们是由一家领先的罗马作坊生产的，为皇室以及富裕而有文化的私人提供服务，罗马和那不勒斯周围的别墅就是为这些客户建造、装饰和家具的这些杯子用高浮雕装饰，上面有丘比特的雕像，部分镀金。这些丘比特，其中一些人在跳舞和演奏乐器，可能与酒神庆典有关，因此非常适合作为饮酒派对器皿上的主题。但在这里，这些人物几乎没有真正的象征意义，被选中只是因为他们组成了一个有吸引力的群体。像许多其他华丽的银器一样，这些杯子显然是为了展示和使用。
介绍（英）	These silver cups represent Roman metalwork of the highest quality. They were undoubtedly produced by one of the leading Roman workshops that supplied the imperial family as well as affluent and cultured private individuals—the same clientele for whom the villas around Rome and Naples were built, decorated, and furnished. The cups are decorated in high relief with figures of cupids and are partially gilt. The cupids, several of whom are shown dancing and playing instruments, may be associated with Dionysiac festivities and so are eminently suitable as subjects on vessels meant for a drinking party. But here the figures have little, if any, real symbolism and were chosen simply because they formed an attractive group. Like many other pieces of ornate silverware, these cups were clearly intended as much for display as for use.
