About Roman Beads:

From the 1st century BCE to the 4th century CE, glass craftsmanship flourished in the Roman Empire, resulting in many glass products being produced and exported as trade items. These glass artifacts, created along the Mediterranean coast, spread to vast regions from Northern Europe to Japan. Initially, most glass was opaque, but by the 1st century CE, transparent glass gained popularity. Beads crafted during this period were considered valuable adornments. However, fragments of glassware like cups and pitchers, which were then perforated to create beads, are more commonly found and are relatively affordable even today.
