Glass items produced during the Ancient Roman period, as well as the Sassanian Persia period, are referred to as "Roman Glass." Ancient Roman merchants, who were active in glasswork trade, created beads in various designs to cater to buyers' preferences.
Among these Roman glasses, those with eye-like patterns are called Eye Beads. These were believed to have protective powers and were inspired by ancient Phoenician beads, which predated Ancient Rome by several centuries. The fact that Ancient Romans admired beads from even older civilizations highlights that the history of beads is indeed intertwined with the history of humanity.
