Edward Perry Warren was an important Boston born collector of Antiquities from the late 19th-early 20th century. The most famed piece in Warren's collection was the so called "Warren Cup," a Roman silver skyphos dating to the 1st century A.D. that depicts two scenes of male homosexual fornication. The cup now permanently resides in the British Museum. He was also responsible for a significant portion now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, many of which were of an erotic nature, chosen deliberately to rattle the puritanical ethos of Boston socialites.
