Abstract

On a glass cup with cut decoration found in a roman villa at Desenzano, on the Garda Lake, Christ and a cock are represented. The theme may be connected with the Hymn by St. Ambrose, called the Hymn of the Cock: while in Florence, on 384, he cured miraculously a member of the Decentii, probably owners of the villa.
