ed important and high status Roman assemblag-
es, especially highly prized strongly coloured and
colourless glass, such as those from early Roman
Ribnica, and the extensive assemblage from the
cemetery at Budva, Montenegro.
The third theme in the book examines how
glasses form an important resource in muse-
ums and enable communication about the ma-
terial past to scholars and to the public. This in-
cludes specific illustrative examples such as the
Roman decorated bottle from Ptuj which tells
us of the wealth of its owner, about the skill of
the glassworker and about how history was then
told in images and a high quality decorated bowl
imported from Egypt. Finally, the volume con-
cludes with a chapter on the impressive and ex-
tensive collection of 17th century vessel and win-
dow glass discovered on the Gnalic shipwreck,
which displays the extensive international move-
ment of glass in a snapshot of time.
The content, structure and organisation of
the publication are well conceived and it is a very
accessible and informative volume. The written
style is easy to follow and the volume represents
a very good resume of important research under-
taken by Professor Lazar in the region.
