This Roman glass bottle has a long narrow neck and bulbous body that is slightly flattened on the bottom. The body is etched with writing and decorative elements.
During the early Roman period, the glass-making techniques used by the Greeks were continued. Production was such that glass objects were no longer luxuries so large quantities of Roman glass have survived. Much of this glass was buried and as a result, acquired an attractive lustrous patination.
Ancient Rome - 2nd-3rd century.
