A comprehensive and fully illustrated study of silver vessels from ancient Macedonia from the 4th to the 2nd centuries BC. Eleni Zimi demonstrates that these vessels, recovered from the tombs of their owners, were status symbols, reflecting the taste for luxury in the Macedonian court from the reign of Philip II onwards.
