Ancient Roman Glass Bottle Circa 2nd-3rd century AD This blown glass bottle showcases an elongated tubular neck and a spherical lower body. The glassmaking process in ancient Rome typically commenced with the gathering of raw materials, including sand, soda, and lime. These ingredients were fused together at high temperatures to form a molten glass, which could then be shaped and molded into desired forms. Techniques such as mold blowing and free-blowing were commonly utilized to shape glass objects, allowing for the creation of intricate and diverse forms.
