I wish a joyous Christmas to all who celebrate. May you have a truly wonderful time 🎄🎅.This #Roman glass spherical bottle would make great #Christmas bauble, but it was used to hold perfume and loose powder. The contents were sealed inside the delicate cosmetic container, and a small knob at the top had to be broken off to remove the oil/powder. Dating 1st/2nd century AD.On display at Altes Museum Berlin 📷 me#archaeology
