More model informationTo make this digital model, we scanned a modern replica of an ancient Roman artifact. For scanning purposes, we sprayed the replica with an aerosol powder to make it opaque. The final rendering was then colored cobalt blue to make it distinct from the ancient artifact, which is yellowish green. The cup depicts elements of a racetrack and four charioteers, who are labeled above.
The modern glass replica was made by Mark Taylor and David Hill: http://www.theglassmakers.co.uk/047d.htm The ancient artifact is called the Colchester Cup after its findspot and is held by the British Museum: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_1870-0224-3
