About Roman Beads:

From the 1st century BCE to the 4th century CE, the Roman Empire saw significant advancements in glass craftsmanship. Roman glass products were widely produced and exported as trade goods. These glass items, crafted along the Mediterranean coast, spread across a vast region from Northern Europe to Japan. Initially, most items were opaque, but transparent glass gained popularity from the 1st century onwards. Beads made from these glass products were highly valued as jewelry. Glass fragments from cups or pitchers, drilled with holes to be used as beads, are more commonly found and thus more affordable today.
