About Roman Beads:

From the 1st century BCE to the 4th century CE, glass craft flourished in the Roman Empire, producing many glass items for trade. These glass products, made along the Mediterranean coast, spread across vast regions from Northern Europe to Japan. Initially, most glass items were opaque, but by the 1st century CE, transparent glass became popular. Beads made for jewelry were highly valued, while fragments of glass used for cups and pitchers were often drilled and are more commonly found, making them relatively affordable even today.
