About Roman Glass:
Ancient Roman Glass Beads: From the 1st century BCE to the 4th century CE, glass craftsmanship flourished in the Roman Empire, with many glass products being exported as trade items. Initially, most glass was opaque, but by the 1st century CE, transparent glass gained popularity. While beads and other jewelry items made from this glass are highly valuable, fragments of glass used for cups or pitchers, which have been pierced to create beads, are more commonly found and can be acquired at relatively affordable prices today.
