Roman Glass from Private Collections

There will be a special display of Roman Glass in the Thermenmuseum in Heerlen in the Cariovallum which was built on the foundation of a Roman bath-house, and the exhibition holds 283 Roman glass vessels. Special objects are a small opaque amphora with a depiction of Ajax commanding the invasion fleet landing at Troy. There are only eight similar pieces known worldwide. There is also a pitcher by the famous glassblower Ennion from Sidon (Lebanon). This is the first public show of these notable vessels.
