Adopt an Artefact Roman Glass Bottle, 2nd century AD

Roman Glass Bottle

Cultural collections preserve the past to promote the future. UNEMA’s Adopt-an-Artefact program enables members of the community to make a tax-deductible donation to sponsor the conservation of artefacts in need of assistance. 100% of funds donated to conserve the Museum’s collections are used to help preserve UNEMA’s artefacts for future generations.

Salve! (that’s Latin for Hello). I’m a c.2nd century AD amber-coloured, free-blown, Roman glass bottle with white glass trailing spiralling around my girth. Unfortunately, my fragile lip has sustained some damage that requires remedial surgery. Can you help me?

Adoption Conservation Cost: $825, GST inclusive
