    Boric acid might make it less prone to break, but bear in mind also the Roman's used things we would not due to safety concerns today. Lead was used back then in cookware, water pipes etc and lead glass was made even into at least early last century. Speculation, but if you made a glass with a high enough lead content, it might prove flexible, especially with other hardeners/softeners as needed. Such glass would likely not be clear though.

    I'm off to look for a nice frame. I bought a piece of this yesterday out on my travels. This shop was selling bits all the way from Afghanistan and the shop owner explained that they can make jewellery out of them. I would hate something that's a couple of thousand years old to meet its demise in the depths of my room!. It's going on a frame on the wall...it's a lovely piece of work...

    the romans had glass in their windows as well. they had glass windows with patterns like you find in more late churces. the roman houses was more like nowday. very modern and some of it kind of like you find in russia in modern time. the romans used glass in their windows in their houses 2000 years ago. we think we are modern but we are just a little bit more advanced than the ancient rome. all that glass is gone now as erosion worns it away. romans made thir building very much like today exept better in the sense of looks.

    I know how to make vitrium flexible. Still waiting for someone else to realize the chemical formula. It's relatively simple, and can be made using multiple chemical compositions.
