Didn't have time to post yesterday for Rome's birthday. Traditionally, Rome's founding date is April 21, making Rome 2,775 years old. Here are images of ancient Roman glass in The Corning Museum of Glass.1. Mosaic glass bowl. Italy or East Mediterranean, 125-1 BCE. 2. Dish cover in the form of a fish. Probably Italy, 1st Century CE. 3. Wine pitcher with applique of a follower of Dionysus at the handle. Probably Italy, 50-75 CE. #ancientglass #Romanglass #antiquities #ancientart #arthistory
