YES, at that time period, in the Roman Empire, if you were rich enough, you could have windows. Archeaologists had discovered glass remains from windows in forts along Handrian's Wall in northern England. This would be about 400 years after the time you're inquiring about.

The ancient Egyptians were the first to invent glass about 1000 years previous to that. Clear or cloudiy glass was possible by Roman times, though with the way a typical Roman villa was laid out, there was no need for glass in exterior windows. The main light for the villa came in through the atrium in the center of the house. Villas were heated in winter through fires built beneath the floors to heat the flooring tiles. Similar to how adobe houses are heated in the Southwest USA today.

Many times temples or castles were built with open windows to let fresh air and sunlight in. There was a huge fireplace to keep the room warm in cold weather and at night AND for cooking too. Since 3000 BC, the use of window glass was used in peices of stained glass on the villas of the wealthy who were the only ones who could afford it.
It wasn't till medeival times with the growth of many churches that the use of stained glass or glass peices fit together to make the pane unlike the modern method of sheet glass used in windows today.

They used roller blinds and shutters. Later some small windows were covered with very thin horn, which allowed the light through but you couldn't see through.
