Roman Era Glass
The Roman Empire is recognized for having built a great civilization, with renowned artistic and technological achievements. At its peak, Rome controlled the Mediterranean Sea region, and oversaw innovations in glass-blowing and the industrialization of glass-making in the first century, over 2000 years ago. Intact Roman Era Glass objects are found in archaeological sites and museum collections around the world. This rare unique glass comes in the forms of ancient glass cups, bowls, vases and perfume containers that were once used in everyday life. Most Roman Era Glass is found broken into pieces, which have been repurposed into beautiful and unique beads. Roman Era Glass objects and pieces are found along the Silk Road, in Israel and around other lands of the Middle East. |
