Roman glass

Roman glass refers to the types of glass produced during the Roman Empire (around 1st century BCE to 5th century CE). Made through a process of melting and shaping silica-rich sand with other minerals, Roman glass often features vibrant colors, intricate designs, and sometimes crude, uneven surfaces due to ancient manufacturing techniques. It was used for everyday items like bottles, cups, jewelry, and decorative objects. Many Roman glass objects have survived broken or as fragments, providing valuable insights into the craftsmanship, trade, and daily life of the ancient Romans.
