About Roman Beads:

From the 1st century BCE to the 4th century CE, glass craftsmanship flourished in the Roman Empire, producing many glass items for trade. These glass products, made along the Mediterranean coast, spread across a vast region from Northern Europe to Japan. Initially opaque, transparent glass gained popularity around the 1st century CE. Beads made for adornment were highly valued, while glass fragments from cups or pitchers with holes drilled in them are more common and can still be found at relatively affordable prices today.
