ANCIENT Roman silversmiths developed their craft to the highest levels of refinement and beauty.
Applying fire and basic tools to the shaping of precious metals, many of their sophisticated techniques are still used today.
This video illustrates the making of a stunning silver cup that has survived from the 1st Century AD.
This cup is on view at the GETTY VILLA in Malibu, California, from November 19, 2014, to August 17, 2015, in the exhibition "Ancient Luxury and the Roman Silver Treasure from Berthouville": http://bit.ly/13Oxl7s
