About Roman Glass:
From the 1st century BCE to the 4th century CE, glass craftsmanship flourished in the Roman Empire, leading to the production and export of numerous glass items. These glass products, created along the Mediterranean coast, were traded widely, reaching from Northern Europe to Japan. Initially, most glass items were opaque, but by the 1st century CE, transparent glass gained popularity. Beads crafted from Roman glass were highly valued as jewelry, while fragments from cups and pitchers, often found in excavations, are more commonly available and affordable today.
