A Roman Ancient Glass shard from 1-2 century AD offers a glimpse into the advanced craftsmanship and artistic sophistication of the Roman Empire during the early Imperial period. Typically made of translucent or colored glass, these shards would have been part of decorative or utilitarian objects, such as vessels, bottles, or window panes. The glass was often produced using a combination of heat and blowing techniques, allowing for intricate shapes and fine details.
