Estes dois copos de prata (skyphoi) marcam o auge da metalurgia romana. Sem dúvida, foram feitos em uma das oficinas mais importantes de Roma, fornecedora da família imperial e da aristocracia. Os copos estão decorados com cupidos em alto relevo e vários deles dançam e tocam instrumentos. Por sua associação com as festas dionisíacas, os cupidos são muito adequados para decorar copos utilizados para beber vinho em opulentas festas, embora, nesse caso, não pareça haver um simbolismo específico. Similar à muitas outras peças de prata ornamentadas, estes copos foram utilizados para fins decorativos mais do que prático.
