About This Design

Ancient Roman Artefact Know Thyself Skeleton Coffee Mug

Ancient Roman Artefact Know Thyself Skeleton Coffee Mug

The artefact in question is a remarkable testament to the ethos of self-awareness in ancient Roman culture. At its centre lies a skeleton, symbol of mortality and the inevitability of death. Yet, it's not merely the skeletal remains that capture attention but the inscription adorning the scene: "gnothi seauton," a poignant reminder in ancient Greek to "know thyself." This phrase, attributed to the Oracle of Delphi in Greek antiquity, carries profound significance. It urges individuals to introspect, to delve into the depths of their own being, understanding their strengths, weaknesses, desires, and fears. In the context of this artefact, it serves as a haunting reminder of mortality, urging viewers not only to recognise their own mortality but also to grasp the fleeting nature of life and the importance of self-reflection.

Creator Review
I like to buy and review my own work to ensure you get an outstanding product and I’m happy to give the Primary Colours Beach Football Mug 5 stars because it meets my expectations completely. Pleased with it I am. Zazzle mugs are well fabricated, microwave and dishwasher safe. And this yellow red and blue panoramic wraparound motif is sealed with a durable and sparkling Orca polished gloss glaze finish. It’ll never rub off! The size and energy of two jostling figures and a burly goal keeper fit the mug's circular shape well. There's momentum in the carousel effect as the two jostling figures repeat and move right around the mug and meet a burly goal keeper. Big sharp original images precisely drawn and delicately captured in blue and red with plenty of bright yellow! An ideal gift for anyone who plays ball! A fun gift for all beachball and football fans. A pair with the Retro Grey-Grain Beachball Player Mug. Available in two sizes and several styles including Black Ringer, Travelling, and Stern. Go have a peek!
