Bagues et anneaux à l'époque romaine en Gaule
Year: 1989
Type: article
Abstract: In the bounds of the Roman Gaul, the author proposes a typology of finger-rings, in spite of the difficulties in the study of these objects, producted by craftsmen but with various techniques, personal jewellery with différents functions and following the fashion. Maps and chronological rolls (with broad limitations) are intended for usual shapes. The following account presents the customers' fluctuations (in course of time and according to the lands and the owners' wealth). To a large degree, these rings mean the adoption of a Roman object, all over Gaul, but chiefly in improved areas, traffic axes and towns. Most pre-roman jewellery shapes and decorations have vanished and these jewels follow the fashion of the other roman countries ; however, some shapes and decorations are privileged. Few of the workshops are known.
