About Roman Eye Beads:
Roman Eye Beads are crafted from glass that dates back to ancient Rome and the Sassanid Persia era. Known as "Roman Glass," these beads were widely traded by ancient Roman merchants, who catered to the preferences of their buyers with various designs. The beads with eye-like patterns are referred to as Eye Beads, believed to possess protective powers against evil. These beads are a recreation of ancient Phoenician beads, which predate ancient Rome by several centuries. The admiration for these ancient beads by the Romans highlights the rich history of bead-making, which is intertwined with human history itself.
