About Ancient Roman Face Mosaic Glass Beads:

Ancient Mosaic Face Beads: These beads date back to the Roman Imperial period from the 1st century BCE to the 2nd century CE. During this time, the Roman Empire, through its control of major glass production centers like Syria, advanced glass-making techniques and distribution. Influenced by the Hellenistic culture of Ancient Greece, the intricate and beautiful mosaic glass beads featuring human faces were predominantly made in regions like Alexandria in Egypt and Syria. These beads became widely distributed across different regions with the expansion of the Roman Empire.
