Roman, Syria Palaestina, Glass Sprinkler Jug, c. 3rd - 4th Century A.D.
|Glass| |Antiquities|, |Roman,| |Syria| |Palaestina,| |Glass| |Sprinkler| |Jug,| |c.| |3rd| |-| |4th| |Century| |A.D.|, The Palestinian glass industry especially flourished from the early 4th to the early 5th century, when the region enjoyed a time of peace and prosperity. Conditions began to improve under Diocletian. The first Christian emperor, Constantine the Great, designated Jerusalem and the Holy Land for reconstruction. Exempted from personal taxation by an Imperial edict in 337, a large number of skilled craftsmen profited greatly from an economic boom. Urbanization increased, large new areas were put under cultivation, monasteries proliferated and synagogues were restored. The cities of Palestine, Caesarea Maritima, Jerusalem, Scythopolis, Neapolis, and Gaza reached their peak population, and the population West of the Jordan may have reached as many as one million.
