The Pljevlja diatreta is a well-preserved cage cup from the 4th century AD. It is made of transparent colourless glass with a cobalt blue web. The inscription on it is of the same colour: VIVAS PANELLENI BONA. The cup is also a very rare example of a complete Roman cage cup , or diatretum. It comes from a famous workshop in Cologne. The cup is not on display, but can be looked at a scheduled appointment with the museum administration.
