About Mosaic Beads:

The Ancient Mosaic Beads date back to the Roman Empire from the 1st century BCE to the 2nd century CE. During this time, glass production flourished in the Roman Empire, particularly in major glass-producing regions like Syria. Influenced by Hellenistic culture from ancient Greece, these beads often featured intricate and beautiful face mosaics. These mosaic beads were extensively produced in Alexandria, Egypt, and Syria, and were widely traded throughout the Roman Empire.
