Luxury items or jewelry, the Roman-era intaglios and cameos listed here come from excavations of dwellings and tombs, from treasure hoards, and even from chance discoveries across the entirety of French territory (with the exception of Corsica). The catalog of these often previously unpublished objects is accompanied by technical, stylistic, and thematic studies that highlight the unified and Roman nature of these productions, leading to reflections on the Romanization of Gaul as seen through the lens of private life, of which these jewels are a testament.
