About Roman Glass:

Ancient Roman Glass Beads: From the 1st century BCE to the 4th century CE, glassmaking flourished in the Roman Empire, with many glass products being exported as trade goods. Initially, most glass was opaque, but by the 1st century CE, transparent glass grew in popularity. Beads and other jewelry items made from glass are highly valuable today, whereas fragments of glass vessels such as cups and pitchers, often with holes drilled in them, are more commonly found and can be acquired at relatively lower prices.
