The Hebrew word 'zekhukhith' (glass) appeared in the Old Testament, but it was frequently used in the Mishnaic Hebrew and in correlation with the Aramaic 'zegugita'. In the Talmudic times white and coloured, transparent glasses were very valuable. This magnificent goblet was found on Mons Scopus, in Jerusalem and it shows the skill and the capacity of the Roman glass blowers of the time. After the establishment and unification of the Roman Empire under Augustus (27 B.C.), glass manufacturing quickly travelled throughout the Empire, and with the ease of production, glass entered the same sphere of use and popularity as metal and clay vessels. -
