This is the first comprehensive and fully illustrated study of
silver vessels from ancient Macedonia from the 4th to the 2nd
centuries BC. These precious vessels formed part of dining sets
owned by the royal family and the elite and have been discovered in
the tombs of their owners. Eleni Zimi presents 171 artifacts in a
full-length study of form, decoration, inscriptions and
manufacturing techniques, set against contemporary comparanda in
other media (clay, bronze, glass). She adopts an art historical and
sociological approach to the archaeological evidence and
demonstrates that the use of silver vessels as an expression of
wealth and a status symbol is not only connected with the wealth
spread in the empire after Alexander's the Great expedition to the
East, but constitutes a practice reflecting the opulence and
appreciation for luxury at least in the Macedonian court from the
reign of Philip II onwards.
