Juglet pendants are an interesting class of beads produced in the Roman Near East from the late 200s-400 AD. The function of these amulets is open for debate, but there is some conjecture in the literature that these glass vessels were actually early Christian amulets taken as relics or souvenirs from holy areas. In "Roman, Byzantine, and Early Medieval Glass; 10 BCE-700 CE; the Ernesto Wolf Collection," Stern argues for this interpretation based on the distribution of these objects fr ...click for details

The majority of beads from this period are colored like this one, with a base of extremely dark blue glass that appears black, with applied linear decorations.

The earliest man-made glass predated the Roman empire by 2000 years, but the Romans used a greater quantity and variety of glass than any other civilization before the Renaissance. The discovery of glassblowing in the first century B.C. transformed glass from a luxury item into the medium for making objects for everyday use. Glass had a long history of production in the eastern Mediterranean, and the majority of common glass objects were produced in Syria and Israel during the later centuries of ...click for details
