An interesting Roman light green ampulla jar measuring 5.1 cm in height with a circumference of 11.3 cm and dated 1st - 3rd century AD, the Roman Period. There is a light earth encrustation on the exterior and interior and the round body grows to a slightly restricted neck and a rounded rim. The bottom is also rounded and there are several almost invisible cracks in the body. There are no chips and the vessel is in very good condition. For centuries these jars were often referred to as "blood jars" because they were thought to hold the blood of martyrs. This belief was disproved when analysis of the red substance in some jars proved they were not blood deposits. It is now believed the vessels were used to hold holy water or sacred oils.
