This paper, which analyses images in reliefs, mosaics and wall paintings, demonstrates how representations of window glass are more common than hitherto argued. The data from these analyses provide important information about the chronology, use and availability of this type of material, adding to the small body of knowledge regarding an object little understood in scholarly circles, although windows are believed to be one of the most widespread applications of glass in the Roman era. |
