Roman glass from indigenous sites is a key source material for studying the impact of Rome on Iron Age Scotland, but it has never been properly studied. This work fills that gap. This study is based on the Roman glass vessels found on non-Roman/native sites north of Hadrian's Wall, dated mainly to the Roman Iron Age (0-400 AD).

'Overall, this is an excellent work, carefully considered and composed, and of importance to anyone interested in Roman glassware, ancient European drinking practices, and the cultural interactions between Romans and non-Romans during the principate.'

(Current Archaeology); 'I. has produced a solid volume, in which he thoroughly discusses the significance of the Roman glass vessels and Roman and prehistoric drinking customs.' Britannia; 'Ingemark's arguments are clear and well presented and his catalogue is an absolute joy to look through. ... The stunning pictures of the glass objects really capture the imagination ...
