🪔 For #Romanglass: Portrait of Roma on gilded glass - it was found ten meters below the current street level during the construction of the Porta Metronia station of the Metro C line in Rome. Dated to the 4th c AD, it was likely buried at the time of the construction of the Aurelian Walls. Now in Musei Capitolini, Rome. 📸 me

🪔 For eyes pleasure: a Gold-glass portrait of two young men from the Museo Civico Archeologico in Bologna. Produced in the 1st quarter of 4th century, it bears a Latin transcription of Greek: PIE ZESES, or "Drink and you will live". 📸 me
🪔 This particular double portrait was pressed into the fresh mortar on the burial niche - the remains of the mortar can still be seen.
