reporter Roman jewellery found in ancient Japan tomb
Glass jewellery believed to have been made by Roman craftsmen has been found in an ancient tomb in Japan, researchers said Friday, in a sign the empire's influence may have reached the edge of Asia.

Tests have revealed three glass beads discovered in the Fifth Century "Utsukushi" burial mound in Nagaoka, near Kyoto, were probably made some time between the first and the fourth century, the Nara National Research Institute for Cultural Properties said.

The government-backed institute has recently finished analysing components of the glass beads, measuring five millimetres (0.2 inches) in diametre, with tiny fragments of gilt attached.

It found that the light yellow beads were made with natron, a chemical used to melt glass by craftsmen in the empire, which succeeded the Roman Republic in 27 BC and was ultimately ended by the Fall of Constantinople in 1453.

The beads, which have a hole through the middle, were made with a multilayering technique -- a relatively sophisticated method in which craftsmen piled up layers of glass, often sandwiching gold leaf in between.

"They are one of the oldest multilayered glass products found in Japan, and very rare accessories that were believed to be made in the Roman Empire and sent to Japan," said Tomomi Tamura, a researcher at the institute.

How are archeologists "whackos"? Please be specific. As for my
grave why in the f*ck would I care what anyone does to it? I'll be
dead, my soul gone to that great mystery. I won't be around to
care.

The Romans traded directly with India and Ceylon. They had writings about how long it took to sail between the two. It's easy to believe that India traded with China or Japan. It's fairly rare or more Japanese graves would have Roman artifacts.

Isn't Natron what the Egyptians used to embalm their dead?

Fascinating Dr. P.

Not really surprising. I don't have a link handy but the Romans were all agog with the silk from China and the way the females strutted their stuff in it. chuckle

People got around in ancient times much more than a lot of people credit.

Cool! But did they check closey for a "made in Japan" sticker on it?? Maybe the Japanese made it, sold it to the Romans and then found its way back to Japan. Perhaps it was returned because defects or pro-rated for a jewelry upgrade.

They did, but the sticker said "Made in Taiwan"!

This reminds me of the Caucasian mummies found in China that dated to about 2,000 years ago.
