Early Period Textiles & Costuming

Roche-Bernard, Geneviève. Costumes et Textiles en Gaule Romaine. Éditions Errance, 1993.



Costumes et Textiles en Gaule Romaine is an in-depth exploration of the clothing and textile industry in Roman Gaul. Written in French, this detailed study examines various aspects of fiber production, dyeing techniques, weaving styles, and the construction of garments during the Roman period. It also provides a thorough analysis of how clothing was commercialized, tracing its journey from production to market. Roche-Bernard supports her research with meticulous notes on her sources, making it a highly reliable reference for scholars interested in the history of ancient textiles.

Although the book is in French, readers can easily translate it using tools like Google Translate to access the rich content. This volume, now out of print and difficult to find, remains a valuable resource for those studying ancient costume and textile production. The book is in immaculate condition, with only a bookplate inside the front cover. Its comprehensive coverage of Gallic textiles, supported by rich iconography and extensive historical research, makes it essential for those interested in the craftsmanship and commercial practices of the time.

This book is in excellent condition. It has a bookplate inside the front cover. ISBN:  978-2877720793 / 2877720799. Asking $200.
