[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2410879, member: 2844"]I agree. It is a beautiful replica. The 800 mark was never used in Roman times. I believe it began to be used in the late 19th century, probably in the 1870s. In 1934 official Italian hallmarks were introduced, so I would place your kantharos in the late 19th-early 20th century. The good thing is, you won't be persecuted for handling an item looted from an Italian monument.[/QUOTE]
