4世紀下半葉 羅馬帝國時期
Second half of the 4th century, Rome
意大利 羅馬 埃斯奎里山
Found at the foot of the Esquiline Hill, Rome, Italy
銀、鍍金 Silver and gilt
這批展品都是來自1793年於羅馬埃斯奎里山腳下出土的文物，它們被統稱為「埃斯奎里寶藏」，是羅馬晚期保存下來最豐富而且極為重要的銀器寶藏之一。寶藏包括銀質的首飾盒、容器、盤子和飾品。這些寶藏可能屬於在379－383年間成婚的圖爾西爾斯塞昆德德斯和普羅杰塔圖爾西夫婦。普羅杰塔的名字出現在其中一個銀質首飾盒上，並因盒上的基督教銘文：「塞昆德斯和普羅杰活在基督裡」而聞名於世。
These objects are all from the "Esquiline treasure" found by workmen in 1793 whilst digging at the foot of the Esquiline Hill in Rome. The treasure comprises silver caskets, vessels, plates and ornaments and is one of the largest and most important silver hoards to have survived from Late Antiquity. The treasure was originally owned by an eminent Roman family. The owners would appear to have been Turcius Secundus and Projecta Turcii, who were married from 379 to 383. Projecta's name appears on one of the silver caskets and is famous for its Christian inscription: "Secundus and Projecta, live in Christ".
