A Roman copper-alloy drinking vessel with a handle fashioned as a snarling leopard with silver spots and amber eyes, found in Llantilio Pertholey, outside of Abergavenny, Monmouthshire. The cup is a striking symbol of the spread of sophisticated Roman culture to parts of Britain we might think if as being relatively remote at the time.
