 GLASS - LoveToKnow Article on GLASS
Glass, in flat pieces, such as might be employed for windows, has been found in the ruins of Roman houses, both in England and in Italy, and in the house of the faun at Pompeii a small pane in a bronze frame remains.
Most of the pieces have evidently been made by casting; but the discovery of fragments of sheet-glass at Silchester proves that the process of making sheet-glass was known to the Romans.
An example connected with the specimens just described is the cup belonging to Baron Lionel de Rothschild; though externally of an opaque greenish color, it is by transmitted light of a deep red.
