HIGH LIFE 51 香油瓶 这个精美瓶身的透明玻璃，透现层层不同的色彩和金箔， 于公元前50至公元50年制作。其来自西顿，乃全球最古老 且持续有人居住的城市之一。第三次米特拉达梯战争后， 当地于公元前64年被庞培大帝纳入罗马共和国版图，并成 为叙利亚行省。这个香油瓶的艺术风格揉合阿契美尼德帝 国、希腊化和罗马特色，可谓古典时代集大成艺术品。 Bottle for perfumed oil Dated between 50 BC and AD 50 from Sidon, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Following the Third Mithridatic War, the region was annexed to Rome as the Province of Syria by Pompey the Great in 64 BC. The bands of color and gold leaf layered within the clear glass of this exquisite flask are visually striking, but equally noteworthy is the fact that the style is an amalgamation of Achaemenid, Hellenistic and Roman influences, making this artefact a product of the height of classical antiquity.
