About Roman Beads:
From the 1st century BCE to the 4th century CE, glass craftsmanship flourished in the Roman Empire, resulting in a wide array of glass products that were traded extensively. These glass items, crafted along the Mediterranean coast, spread across a vast area from Northern Europe to Japan. Initially, most glass products were opaque, but by the 1st century CE, transparent glass gained popularity. Beads made during this period were highly valued as jewelry. While beads made specifically as ornaments are rare, glass fragments used as beads, originally part of items like cups and pitchers, are more commonly found and relatively affordable even today.
