Verres gravés à décor figuré du 4<sup>e</sup> siècle dans le sud de la Gaule

The article gathers engraved glasses with figured decoration dated from the fourth or early fifth century discovered in the southern half of France. It extends an earlier article devoted to engraved glasses with figurative decoration dated from the second and third centuries (Journal of Glass Studies 65, 2023). These glasses (about 40 pieces), classified according to their style of engraving, come for the most part from workshops in the region of Rome, and the style with lozenge-shaped eyes dominates. However, the share of glasses from workshops in the Rhine Valley is not negligible (more than a quarter). This distribution modifies the earlier maps and suggests more important commercial relations than one would suspect between the south of Gaul and the Rhine region. It cannot be excluded that these exogenous glasses were brought back by soldiers previously stationed on the Rhine.

Abstract

The article gathers engraved glasses with figured decoration dated from the fourth or early fifth century discovered in the southern half of France. It extends an earlier article devoted to engraved glasses with figurative decoration dated from the second and third centuries (Journal of Glass Studies 65, 2023). These glasses (about 40 pieces), classified according to their style of engraving, come for the most part from workshops in the region of Rome, and the style with lozenge-shaped eyes dominates. However, the share of glasses from workshops in the Rhine Valley is not negligible (more than a quarter). This distribution modifies the earlier maps and suggests more important commercial relations than one would suspect between the south of Gaul and the Rhine region. It cannot be excluded that these exogenous glasses were brought back by soldiers previously stationed on the Rhine.
