Roman Glass is an ancient glass produced at the time of the Roman Empire, 2,000 years ago. Glass was only available to the rich people in ancient Rome, until the first century BC, when they discovered the technique of blowing glass.
Technological breakthrough enabled mass production, and the peak was recorded at the time of Emperor Augustus, when the glass was used by all social strata in all circumstances of life, from household to fashion.
