Roman and Early Byzantine Glass from Romania and Northern Bulgaria

The present archaeological and technological study of Ancient and Early Byzantine glass from the territories of Romania and northern Bulgaria comprises a larger part regarding the glass production of Dacia and Lower Moesia (Chapter 1), as well as a smaller part on a selection of imported luxury glasses found there (Chapter 2) and on imported glasses of the Sântana de Mureç -Ćernjachov and Carpi cultures, which were subjected to analytic examination (Chapter 3).
