| Summary: | Herodium is located some 12 km from Jerusalem on the border between Judea and Idumea. It is the final resting place of King Herod the Great but also served as a royal palace, centre of government, defensive structure, and monument. This paper aims at presenting the glass finds from the excavations at the mountain palace-fortress conducted at the site by the late Gideon Foerster and especially by the late Ehud Netzer and, after his demise, by the Ehud Netzer expedition to Herodium. The glass finds reflect chronological, typological and social transformations from royal to common use, from rare luxury objects produced by complex production techniques, to more daily used, efficiently produced affordable commodities during the period of Early Roman Judaea at the time of King Herod’s reign, the reign of his successors and the two Jewish revolts. |
