Description: | A Roman blue glass intaglio. The intaglio is oval in plan and sub-hemispherical in profile with a flat undecorated reverse. It measures 11.46mm in length, 9.54mm in width, it is 2.02mm thick and weighs 0.33g. The glass is a dark blue on the reverse with a lighter blue face, probably in imitation of nicolo. The intaglio depicts a kneeling warrior with spear and shield. Martin Henig has dated this intaglio to the first century BC or 1st century AD and believes that it may have originally come from an early Roman fort.
