ROMAN WINDOW GLASS FROM THE EXCAVATIONS OF TAURIC CHERSONESOS AND ITS VICINITY
The paper deals with window glass - a category of material which is rare for Chersonesos. Until recently it was thought that window glass had been produced in the city starting from the late III c. AD. (G. D. Belov's excavations). However, the earliest workshops where window glass was manufactured cannot be dated any earlier than the middle of the V c. AD. The window glass of the Roman time (middle of the II - frst half of the III c. AD) was found in Chersonesos (thermae in the «citadel»), on the Suzdalskaya height, and in Balaklava, or, in other words, in the localities associated with the presence of Roman soldiers.
