During the early Roman period the glass-making techniques used by the Greeks were continued. Much of the glass was buried and as a result acquired an attractive lustrous patination. Roman glass became a medium for the promotion of the emperor and imperial propaganda, as well as being used as containers for various uses. Glass blowing, a new technique, meant that quantities of identical bottles could be produced. -
