Ledosus, located in eastern Aquitania (modern-day Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne), was one of the key centers of pottery production in the Roman Empire. Initially, during the early Principate, it became prominent as Italian ceramics, especially those from Arretium, began to decline in popularity. Ledosus emerged as a significant competitor, particularly with its potters creating imitations of imported Italian goods. These artisans specialized in producing a range of terracotta items, including low relief decorated pieces known as terra sigillata, as well as bowls, jugs, relief plaques, and various architectural ornaments. The industry experienced a lull but saw a revival in the second century, continuing to thrive until the fourth century. This historical significance highlights Ledosus's role in the broader context of Roman trade and cultural exchange across regions such as Gaul, Germany, and Britain. Overall, Ledosus serves as an important example of local adaptation and innovation in response to changing market dynamics during the Roman period.
