[Rarebooks] FS: Ancient Roman Glass of Slovenia

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: “The Roman Glass of Slovenia / Rimsko Steklo Slovenije”

By Irena Lazar.
Published in Ljubljana by Zalozba ZRC in 2003.

DISCUSSION: An important and very scholarly study, featuring a number of
unpublished examples of glass.  "The first part is dedicated to the
typological and chronological presentation of the Roman glass (1st-5th
cent.) from the territory of modern Slovenia; the second one is a
presentation and review of local glass production in the Roman period on
Slovene territory. The introduction represents the terminology that is
used and glass making techniques, along with results of the most resent
research. The products are first classified into three major groups based
on the technique of manufacture (vessels made in a mould, mould-blown
vessels, free-blown vessels). The material is further classified into ten
groups of vessels according to their use. The dating of individual forms
was wherever possible determined on the basis of grave units and other
dated contexts from Slovenian sites. Local glass industry existed in Roman
period on the territory of modern Slovenia from the 2nd century onwards
and lasted, as proved by the finds from Celeia and Poetovio, through the
2nd and 3rd century. The most extensive discoveries are known from
Poetovio, where the proofs of glass production are known from different
parts of the town (Hajdina, Rabel_ja vas, Panorama). The remains of six
glass furnaces and glass waste prove the existence of glass production and
enable the reconstruction of the appearance of the glass furnaces. Judging
from the remains of the glass products, the furnaces in Ptuj must have
operated in the 2nd and 3rd centuries". English/Slovene text.
