Description:

|
During the middle Republican period, terracotta votive figurines comprised one third of all artistic production documented thus far for central Italy. The discovery throughout the Roman world of hundreds of votive deposits containing figured terracottas indicates that the primary purpose behind the manufacture of mass-produced, mold-made, terracotta images was votive. Yet their frequent appearance in graves implies that the motifs represented may have had a protective function as well. In addition, the occasional discovery of terracotta figurines in houses suggests domestic cults or possibly merely an interest in stylish décor. In the 1st century BCE and particularly during the 1st century CE, elegant, Hellenistic terracotta types, which could suit a decorative as well as religious setting, became more fashionable.
