EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a Gallo-Roman woman, a resident of Gaul during the Roman occupation from the 1st century AD. The woman is elegantly dressed in the traditional attire of the Gallo-Roman period, which was heavily influenced by Roman fashion. She wears a stola, a long tunic draped over a petticoat, and a palla, a cloak fastened at the shoulder with a fibula. Her hair is styled in an intricate do, adorned with delicate beads and braids. The Gallo-Roman period was marked by the blending of Gallic and Roman cultures, resulting in unique artistic expressions and innovations. This woman's costume is a testament to this fusion, as the stola and palla were traditional Gallic garments, but the fibula and beads were distinctly Roman. The Gallo-Roman woman's life was shaped by the Roman conquest of Gaul, which began in 58 BC under the command of Julius Caesar. The Romans brought with them their language, laws, and customs, transforming the region into a province of the Roman Empire. The woman in this print likely lived in a rural village or small town, where agriculture was the primary source of livelihood. She may have been involved in farming, weaving, or other domestic activities. Despite the Roman influence, Gallo-Roman women retained a degree of autonomy and status. They could own property, make legal contracts, and even initiate divorce. This print offers a glimpse into the daily life of a Gallo-Roman woman, whose existence has been preserved through the rich historical record of the Roman Empire.
