Where is exactly the surprise?<br>
It is only that I investigate Roman glass and I'm curious about it...<br>

Well, the surprise is that a read often that if the romans knew glass they didn't know how to make glass panels.<br>
Apparently they did.<br>
..In the same vein: the legends of the roman horse harness strangling the horse and the roman four wheels carts having no pivoting front wheels.<br>
Not to mention Nero burning Rome, and so on.. <p></p><i></i>

Ah, that!<br>
I was more fortunate than you, I saw my first Roman glass panel fragments when I was fiveteen (A long time ago... ) They appear to be linked mostly with bath houses. The strangest thing I've seen are slightly domed round glass panels, supposedly for 'caldaria' vaults...<br>
No idea about that unbreakable glass !<br>
