Roman doll-makers continued to use technology developed by the Egyptians and Greeks, but in line with the artistic sensibilities of their culture, they were constantly trying to make dolls more elegant and beautiful. ①One doll, found near Prati in Rome, was made of ivory and lay beside her owner who had died at the age of eighteen. ②The huge growth in the understanding of civilization raised awareness of other important roles of trade. ③Next to the doll was a small box, also made of ivory, containing tiny combs and a silver mirror. ④The doll had rings on her fingers and held a tiny key, which unlocked the box. ⑤Like children today, the younger members of Roman civilization would have dressed and undressed their dolls, and decorated their hair and fingers according to the latest fashions.
