The mass production of glass in ancient Rome prompted the development of glass jewellery of unique qualities. The ancient Romans considered jewellery to be an essential accessory, being a public display of the wealth of high social classes. Recent excavations have provided better information on the use of glass for necklaces and bracelets, and in some cases it has been possible to understand the exact arrangement of the jewellery.

The Legio XII Fulminata (the 'lightning bolt' legion) was created by Gaius Julius Caesar in 58 BC and was active until the early 5th century, patrolling at that time the Euphrates borders with the Sassanian Persian Empire, near Melitene (today Malatya). Its emblem was the fulgur, which was widely used on the objects and the pertinences of the Legio. During the first two centuries of the Christian Era the Legio was located in Syria, Cappadocia and Armenia, and participated to the Jewish war between 66 and 70 AD, to be sent after the suppression of the revolt on the Euphrates Border. Cappadocia and Armenia were the main places of staying of the Legio, except for the period of the Marcomannic Wars (167-189 AD), when it operated on the Danube against the Germani.
