Footnotes: Ennion was one of the most prominent glassworkers of Ancient Rome, active from about 1 to 50 CE. He is famous for being the first known maker of decorated mold-blown glass, and for the exquisite quality of his work. Usually pieces done by Ennion are signed by himself however there have been a few instances where they have not been signed. His works were traded directly to the wealthy Romans due to the high demand at the time. There are very few known pieces that have been preserved, so far, there are only approximately 50 pieces that have been preserved which are now mainly in museums and private organisations.
