Parabiago Plate

The Parabiago plate, also known as the Parabiago patera,[a] is an ancient Roman circular silver plate depicting mythological figures.

The plate depicts Cybele with her consort Attis in a "vast cosmic setting"[2] amid "sun, moon, earth and sea, time and the seasons.

"[3] At the time of its discovery, it was thought to have been used as a lid for a funerary amphora.

Technical analyses, however, support a provenance in the 4th–5th centuries, even though it bears little stylistic resemblance to other silver pieces from that period.

[1] The plate weighs 3555 g and measures 390 mm in diameter.
