I just found this and I think it's pretty interesting. A very vibrant depiction of a gladiator from Begram in Afghanistan dating to the 1st C. AD. I believe this is an example of Syrian glasswork that had been imported.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
