"The basin had the function of a fountain and decorated the garden of a luxurious residence. The frieze represents a procession (thiasos) of sea Centaurs with Nereids who are transporting the weapons of Achilles.

The work can be dated to the first decades of the first century B.C."

The final pursuit and suicide of Decebalus: Roman cavalry pursue Decebalus. The Dacian leader kneels in the center of the scene. Now trapped, he cuts his throat to escape a certain fate of being brought to Rome in chains only to be humiliated and killed. A Roman, Ti. Claudius Maximus (whose tomb has been found in Greece at Philippi), stretches out his arm to apprehend Decebalus, but does not reach the king in time. Decebalus is here a sympathetic figure, surrounded on all sides by Roman soldiers, and in defiance of them all taking his own life.
