Yes, glassware would have been accurate. Lots of minerals will crystallize under the right conditions but are not glass. Obsidian is a form of rock, but it isn’t made of silicon-oxide.

Once I was in Herculaneum,
Thought I heard a blast.
Soon turned out
I had a brain of glass.

You’d likely immediately apply for welfare benefits, get fat on doritos, and buy a computer. I mean, I sure would. Oh but with the computer, you could learn enough to get fat the healthy way, on cassava chips instead!

Who couldn’t use a good Roman Collegium guard? His loyalty to duty is wayyyyy beyond question. :)

The more clear-thinking Roman guards who met this same fate had glass brains that looked like this...

It's the first documented case of someone having their glass up their head.
