Gladiator glass find in Northampton


Recommended Posts

Archaeologists found the ancient fragment of glass on the site of a villa nearNether Heyford last week and it was displayed to the public for the first time at the weekend.

 

"Carved Roman glass like this is not a common find. It would have been very expensive and it's a very special piece. It gives us a clear idea of the status the villa had."

The carved glass was found in the bath house of the Roman Villa, which was discovered in a field near Nether Heyford four years ago.

Other finds at the site have included more than 300 Roman coins, pottery, jewellery and animal bones.
