| Throughout antiquity the acquisition and use of metal vessels, especially by the nobility, was generally common both in Thrace and on Cyprus. 1 Thus, the Thracian archaeological repertoire of the Early Classical Period is characterized by vast quantities of metal vessels acquired by the elite for use, particularly, at banquets. 2 In contrast, however, the assemblage from the same period on Cyprus displays relatively fewer metal vessels. In fact, until recently, the metal vessel repertoire of Classical Cyprus consisted of small groups of vessels characterized by just a few shapes and did not exhibit a structural integrity. This repertoire was recently expanded as a consequence of a series of rescue excavations conducted in the necropolis of Soloi in 2005. A burial chamber found in the course of these excavations, in which a noble family was entombed, revealed the only significant deposit of Classical metal vessels known to date from Cyprus. 3 This set of vessels, which consists of various shapes, places Cyprus amongst those regions with the potential to o൵er valuable information regarding artistic metalworking of the Classical Period. The present study aims to examine this evolving situation for the first time and also compares the Classical metal vessels found on Cyprus, including acquisition patterns* i would liNe to express my warm thanNs to prof.
