About Roman Beads:

From the 1st century BCE to the 4th century CE, glass craftsmanship flourished in the Roman Empire, producing many glass products for trade. These glass items, made along the Mediterranean coast, spread across vast regions from Northern Europe to Japan. Initially, most glass was opaque, but transparent glass gained popularity and spread widely after the 1st century CE. Beads made for adornment were highly valued, while fragments of glass cups and pitchers with holes drilled in them were common finds and are still relatively affordable today.
