About Roman Eye Beads:

Roman glass, crafted during the ancient Roman and Sassanian periods, is known for its historical significance in glass artistry and trade. Traders of ancient Rome created beads in various designs to cater to diverse buyer preferences. Among these, beads with eye-like patterns, known as eye beads, were believed to possess protective powers against evil. These beads are a reimagining of even older Phoenician beads, dating back several centuries before ancient Rome. The fascination of ancient Romans with these ancient beads highlights the deep historical roots of bead craftsmanship, reflecting human history itself.
