Most of the earliest surviving examples of Jewish art date back to the Hellenistic and Roman period (323 BCE-4th century CE), which corresponds to the time when Jews were living under Greek and Roman rule in the eastern Mediterranean. Examples include the first-century Synagogue at Dura Europos in Syria and the Catacombs of Rome. Some earlier examples of Jewish art can also be found from the Neo-Babylonian and Persian periods, but they are comparatively rare. There are no surviving examples of Jewish art from the Minoan and Mycenaean periods.
