Nanotechnology Found In Ancient Roman Cup
The incredibly unique Lycurgus Cup, dating back 1,600 years, is an ancient Roman chalice depicting Thrace’s King Lycurgus. Upon further investigation, it was uncovered that this fascinating piece is far more complex than it seems – due to its unique composition of precious metals. It has the ability to alter electrons, causing the cup to emit an emerald hue when illuminated from the front, yet turn blood red when lit from behind.
