About Roman Glass:

From the 1st century BCE to the 4th century CE, the Roman Empire saw significant advancements in glassmaking, producing many glass items for trade. These glass products, created along the Mediterranean coast, spread across a vast region from Northern Europe to Japan. Initially, most glass items were opaque, but by the 1st century CE, transparent glass became widely popular. Beads made from Roman glass were highly valued as jewelry. While beads crafted specifically for adornment are rare, fragments from cups and pitchers with drilled holes are more commonly found and can be acquired relatively inexpensively today.
