A stunning #Roman amber flask, found in Aquileia, dating 1st/2nd c. AD.
Aquileia's position at the end of a main amber trade route resulted in its becoming a centre for the carving and distribution of Baltic amber across the Roman Empire.

I tuned into the ASPROM Winter Symposium on Saturday to hear the excellent talk on mosaics of Aquileia by Roberto Corciulo and Cristiano Tiussi of Fondazione Aquileia, so it's fitting that for #MosaicMonday , the Archaeological Museum there is where we're heading.
