About Ancient Roman Face Mosaic Glass Beads:

Dating from the 1st century BCE to the 2nd century CE during the Roman Empire period, the production of glass products flourished within the Roman Empire. As the empire expanded and controlled major glass-producing regions like Syria, glass-making techniques and distribution also advanced. Influenced by the Hellenistic culture of ancient Greece, the intricately designed and beautiful face mosaic glass beads were primarily produced in Alexandria, Egypt, and Syria. These beads, known for their artistic and cultural significance, were widely distributed across different regions with the expansion of the Roman Empire.
