Roman, Eastern Mediterranean, Twisted Glass Rod, 1st - 2nd Century A.D.
|Glass| |Antiquities|, |Roman,| |Eastern| |Mediterranean,| |Twisted| |Glass| |Rod,| |1st| |-| |2nd| |Century| |A.D.|, Isings notes that glass rods are found "everywhere where the Romans were." Most are twisted but some are plain. Most often they have simple flattened ends but pointed ends, and ends with loops or discs, such as on this specimen are published. The purpose of these rods remains a mystery, but they are sometimes called stirring rods or dipping rods, suggesting a couple possibilities.
