Roman provincial art

Roman provincial art refers to the artistic styles produced in the territories controlled by the Roman Empire outside Italy. It combines local cultural influences with Roman techniques and themes, resulting in diverse and vibrant works. This art includes sculptures, mosaics, wall paintings, and pottery that reflect local traditions, religious beliefs, and daily life, often adapted to Roman tastes and practices. Created by local artisans under Roman rule, provincial art served both functional and decorative purposes, showcasing a blend of native identity and Roman sophistication in regions like North Africa, Gaul, and the Eastern provinces.
