During the 1st-3rd centuries AD the Roman Empire ensured that fossilized
amber was once again prized and fashionable as it was once during the
bronze age. Amber was imported, as before, from the Baltic Sea via the
rivers of Germania. But unlike the bronze age, the tribes in the region
were no longer trading only the raw material but the actual finished pieces
of art, which were sold at a much higher price. Back in Rome, amber was not
only used in fine jewelry but was also used to decorate public spaces like
amphitheaters and even gladiators' clothes and weapons. This newly
established trade route stretched from the Baltic Sea to Aquileia on the
Adriatic coast and is known today as the Amber Road. The Romans in return
supplied the tribes with gold and silver coins, glass and possibly exotics
spices and woods from far reaches of the world.
