Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive catalogue and review of the Roman glass from the Roma town of Isurium Brigantum (Aldborough, North Yorkshire). It includes the material found in work on the site in the 19th century as well as that from a variety of excavations down to the 1960s. This material now forms part of the English Heritage collection. The study provides new information about the supply of glass to the site. First century material is scarce, and the bulk of the vessels date to the 2nd-3rd centuries, with limited 4th century finds. Window glass, glass tesserae, beads and bangles are also present.
