A large Greco-Roman Bronze Mirror, Late Hellenistic or Early Imperial, ca. 100 BCE – 100 CE Roman acquired from the trade inThis circular mirror provides a fascinating glimpse into the everyday life of the ancient Romans. Used for personal grooming, mirrors were considered to be an important part of Roman personal accessories. Roman bronze mirrors were produced in various sizes, and this particular example is very large, measuring eight inches in diameter. Polished to a high shine, the mirror side is slightly convex, which would have helped to produce a clear reflection.
