Roman glass cup

Blown Roman glass cup, I-III AD, with incised decoration intended for domestic use. The history of glass is more than three thousand years old (II Millennium BC in Mesopotamia and Egypt). The first pieces were made from modeling on sand cores to which ornaments of various kinds were added. An expensive production method reserved for the social elite until the invention of blown glass in the 1st century BC, which caused a true revolution in commerce and the introduction of the material to the most modest social strata.
