About Ancient Roman Face Mosaic Beads:

Known as Ancient Mosaic Face Beads, these artifacts date back to the Roman Empire period from the 1st century BCE to the 2nd century CE. The Roman Empire, which controlled major glass production centers such as Syria, saw the development and dissemination of glass-making techniques as the empire expanded. Influenced by the Hellenistic culture of ancient Greece, these intricately crafted mosaic glass beads featuring human faces were predominantly produced in Alexandria, Egypt, and Syria. They became widely circulated with the expansion of the Roman Empire.
