GLASS IN ROME. Glass during Roman times.

July 31st, 2012 by admin

Approximately 300 pieces will be on display at Curia Iulia in the Roman Forum until 16 September. The exhibition features precious ceramics, jewels and mosaics that narrate the period of maximum splendour – beginning with the second century B.C. – of glassworks in the Roman world. The expo is presented in chronological order and traces all techniques adopted in the art of working glass. The most substantial portion illustrates glass production during the Roman Empire and is characterized by the luxurious works created for that society’s élite such as the splendid blue tray engraved with  bacchic figures from Albenga. The versatility of glass allows for the creation of the many gems and jewels on display. The exhibit closes with the imperial insignia of Emperor Maxentius found along the slopes of the Palatine Hill.
