Art of the Gallo-Romans

The art of the Gallo-Romans refers to the cultural and artistic expressions of the people living in Gaul (modern-day France) during the Roman Empire. This period, roughly from the 1st to the 5th centuries AD, blended native Gallic traditions with Roman influences. Artistic works included sculptures, mosaics, and pottery, often featuring Roman themes and techniques. The Gallo-Romans also built impressive structures like amphitheaters and temples. Their art reflects a unique fusion of local and imperial styles, showcasing both everyday life and mythology, and provides insight into the societal changes during the Roman occupation of Gaul.
