Found throughout the Roman Empire, the decoration on this beaker features twelve victors' wreaths and two victors' palms.
The Greek inscription LABE THN NEIKHN translates as: 'Seize the Victory' (which is likely to have been intended in the sense of wishing good luck to the drinker rather than implying that the vessel is a type of sporting trophy).
The quantity of recorded finds suggests that Nike beakers were a popular vessel, with at least four variant types known.
