Roman
Few highly developed cultures lasted as long the Roman Empire and the sophistication of technology which served the Romans is still not fully understood. Glass technology famously took a leap forward with the Romans and ancient Roman beads demonstrate a revolution in glass color and forming. Mechanical advances allowed for the working of gem stone to standards unsurpassed for millennia. Stone surface shaping and drilling in the production of ancient Roman beads compare to today’s standards. More than most civilizations, Roman culture was a structured life style with art and fashion close to the core. Ancient Roman beads not only reflect the accomplishments of that culture, they bring its history to life for the collector.
