Summary/Abstract: In the two borderline provinces – Dacia Traiana and Scythia Minor – glass artifacts prove the spreading of the art of the Roman Empire on the territory called Romania nowadays. The importance of propaganda is indirect in the case of this field of arts, the presence of these objects is a proof of the spreading of the Roman life style in this area. And PaleoChristianity from the end of Antiquity brings changes regarding the ornaments and the purpose of these objects, in close connection with the religious changes from the Empire, being a proof, this time a direct one, of the new religion’s spreading in the Empire.
