Abstract
Mold-blown beakers with mythological scenes have been studied extensively. About 20 new examples joined the lists started by Gladys Davidson Weinberg in 1972 and completed by Karol Wight in 1994. The novelty is based, not so much on the slow increase in finds during the last two decades, but rather on their location in southern France, where such beakers were barely known.
These objects, which never come from funerary contexts, confirm the usual dating and demonstrate that Group II is still the most abundant and widely distributed. Today, the finds appear as numerous in the western provinces as they are in the eastern part of the Roman Empire. However, despite these new finds, this type of beaker remains one of the less-common mold-blown glasses, and its place of manufacture is still unknown.
