About Roman Glass:

Ancient Roman Glass Beads: From the 1st century BCE to the 4th century CE, glass craftsmanship flourished in the Roman Empire, leading to the widespread export of glass products as trade goods. Initially, most items were opaque, but by the 1st century CE, transparent glass became highly popular. While beads and other jewelry pieces are highly valuable and rare, fragments of glass made into cups or pitchers with drilled holes are more commonly found and can be acquired at relatively low prices today.
