German art

This is a gold necklace that
some Gaulish people wore before the
Romans conquered them.
This kind of necklace
is called a torque (you pronounce it TORK).

The Germans and Goths did not build big temples in stone like the Greeks and Romans did. That was because there was plenty of wood where they lived. So they built wooden buildings, but they didn't last very well, so we don't have them today.

These are some gold bracelets
from the Bronze Age in France (Gaul).

But they did carve stone statues of their gods, and they made beautiful jewelry. A lot of medieval art comes from mixing German and Roman art styles.

This is a pot from Gaul
before the Romans conquered it.
