The Portland Vase. Roman. 1-25 CE. Roll-out photograph. The scenes on the Portland Vase have been interpreted many times with a historical or a mythological slant. It is enough to say that the subject is clearly one of love and marriage with a mythological theme. The ketos (sea-snake) places it in a marine setting. It may have been made as a wedding gift. Cut cameo glass, h. 24 cm. diam. 17.7 cm. Inv. GR 1945.9-27.1 (Gems 4036).
