    Older copy, I’d say.

    Welcome, Kris...You're off to an interesting start.
    Next time, please use the Full-Size Image feature at the top of your pic listing. No Blame...we all started the same way.

    Welcome, Kris91.
    The handle on your bottle does not look correct for ancient Roman glass. Such storage bottles most often have variations of strap handles such as this:

    You can find many more examples of Roman square bottles on the ancientglass site - https://ancientglass.wordpress.com/?s=square - as well as lots of other good information if you explore it.

    Your photos are better than many first timer's. If you choose to post more items on the forum, please click on "Full Image", as wlwhittier suggested, and include one or more views that show the entire piece so we can see the whole form.
