Historical background:
Glass has existed in natural forms since prehistoric times; however, humans first began producing glass around 4,000 years ago in Mesopotamia, when craftsmen discovered how to combine sand, soda and lime.

历史背景：
玻璃自史前时代就以自然形态存在；然而大约4000年前在人类在美索不达米亚首次开始生产玻璃，当时工匠发现了如何将砂、碱和石灰结合起来。

For centuries, glass remained a luxury material reserved for the upper classes. Across the Mediterranean world, glassmakers developed techniques such as casting, core-forming and mosaic glass, while experimenting with colours using metallic oxides including cobalt and copper.

数个世纪以来，玻璃一直是仅供上层阶级使用的奢侈材料。在地中海地区，玻璃制造商发展了铸造、芯模成形与马赛克玻璃等工艺，并使用包括钴、铜在内的金属氧化物来尝试着色。

The Romans adopted glassmaking following the conquest of Egypt in the 1st century BC. During the 1st century AD, the invention of glassblowing revolutionised production, allowing for larger-scale manufacturing. By adding manganese dioxide, Roman glassmakers were able to produce colourless or ‘aqua’ glass.

公元前1世纪征服埃及后，罗马人采用玻璃制造。在公元1世纪，吹制玻璃的发明彻底革新了生产，使大规模制造成为可能。通过加入二氧化锰，罗马玻璃匠能够生产无色或“水蓝色/碧蓝色”的玻璃。

Roman glass became highly popular and was widely used for beads, vessels, mosaic tiles and window panes. It was traded throughout the Roman Empire and beyond, reaching regions such as Central Africa, Scandinavia and, via the Silk Road, as far as China.

罗马玻璃极为流行，被广泛用于珠子、器皿、马赛克瓷砖和窗格。它在罗马帝国内部及更广区域进行贸易，扩展至中非、斯堪的纳维亚，并经丝绸之路传至中国等地。
