This 1,700-year-old blue glass bowl, a little more than 8 inches in diameter, was found buried next to a woman at the center of a cemetery at the Roman settlement of Emona in present-day Ljubljana in Slovenia. Its Greek inscription reads: "Drink to live forever, for many years!"

The vessel is decorated on the outside with grapes, and vine leafs and tendrils.
