About Roman Beads:

Between the 1st century BCE and the 4th century CE, glass craftsmanship flourished in the Roman Empire, leading to the production and export of many glass items. These glass products, made along the Mediterranean coast, spread across a vast area from Northern Europe to Japan. Initially, most glass objects were opaque, but by the 1st century CE, transparent glass became increasingly popular. Beads crafted from these glasses were used as jewelry and held high value. Fragments of glass cups and pitchers with drilled holes are more frequently found, making them relatively affordable even today.
