SUMMARY:Exhibition Lecture: Seeing the Supernatural
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the role of art in Gallic religion befo
 re\, during\, and after Caesar’s conquest. The Gauls themselves left
  few written documents about their religious beliefs\, possibly becaus
 e the druids insisted on the oral transmission of knowledge. The mater
 ial record reveals that they had not necessarily imagined their gods i
 n human form before conquest\, though they were accustomed to appeasin
 g supernatural forces with gifts of exquisitely crafted metalwork. Aft
 er annexation\, the inscribed and sculpted stone monuments that they b
 egan to dedicate bear witness to a fascinating era of experimentation\
 , when their newly imagined gods were represented alongside Greek and 
 Roman ones for the first time. In reassessing the role of art in Galli
 c religion\, this talk sheds new light on the rich cultural heritage o
 f the Roman Empire’s provinces.
