Fresco of Samuel Anointing David Depicting Roman-Era Jewish Dress

Jewish clothing in the Roman era consisted mainly of wool or linen tunics and mantles made in accordance with Jewish law. Archaeological finds also include sandals, jewelry, tefillin, and personal items.

The Dura-Europos synagogue preserves some of the earliest attested synagogue art. Its vivid frescoes depict Jewish ritual iconography and biblical scenes, shedding light on Jewish worship, artistic traditions, and Greco-Roman cultural influence in late antiquity.
