Zopyrus
is mentioned by Pliny as one of the eminent silver chasers who flourished in the time of Pompey the Great. Two cups of his, representing the trial of Orestes by the Areopagus, were valued at twelve thousand sesterces. (Plin. Nat. 33.12. s. 55: Zopyrus, qui Arcopagitas et judicium Oreslis in duobus scyphis [caelavit] H. S. XII. acstimatis.)
