Amber was a very expensive and highly appreciated commodity in the Roman period. The Amber Road transported the 'Gold of the North' for thousands of years from the North Sea and the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean area.

Amber beads or amulets were very popular and attributed with healing and protective properties. Some Romans carried amber beads and rubbed them in their hands for strength or to calm the nerves.

Emperor Nero reputedly received as much as 13.000 pounds of amber as a gift. Nets used inside the amphitheatres were knotted with pieces of amber. Gladiators liked to adorn their breasts with amulet charms, and one such amulet was found with the words “We will conquer” carved into the amber.
