Drawing analogies between the Roman society and our own, Fleming (U. of Pennsylvania Museum) presents the path of development followed by the Roman glassworking industry, and illustrates the aesthetic and technical response of an industry to changes in personal taste. Where written sources were lacking, he uses images such as manuscripts and mosaics, relief decoration on silverware and coffins, and so forth. In the foreword, he states that when he talks of glass reflecting the Roman culture, he means that it reflects the way people behaved towards one another. Contains many color illustrations.
