Roman wineglas in a warriors grave

Discovered in the grave of a warrior in Öremölla, Scania (Skåne), this artifact was accompanied by a cauldron along with two similar vessels, as well as two sets of ladles. Dating back to the Roman Iron Age around 100 AD, it represents a remarkable find from antiquity.

During this period, high-quality glass like this was only available from two regions: Greece or Egypt. Today, it's confirmed that this glass was crafted in Egypt, a fact supported by the extensive excavation work in the region, which has uncovered similar glasses and bowls.

With a capacity of 35cl, this ancient glassware not only holds historical significance but also showcases exquisite craftsmanship from a bygone era.
