Historical Context & Origin
Region: Roman Empire (Eastern Mediterranean)
Material: Glass with natural iridescent and mineral patina
Period: Circa 1st–4th Century AD
Description
This well-preserved Roman glass bracelet is a striking example of ancient glassworking. Hand-formed from molten glass and shaped into a circular band, it showcases a rich cobalt-blue hue—one of the most prized colors in Roman adornment. The twisted design provided both elegance and additional strength, reflecting the skill and refinement of Roman artisans. Natural iridescence and mineral deposits, formed over nearly two millennia of burial, enhance its character and authenticity. As a personal ornament worn in daily life, it offers a tangible and intimate connection to the ancient Roman world.
