Series: Corpus Signorum Imperii Romani

This, the tenth fascicule in the British section of the international series Corpus Signorum Imperii Romani, concerns Roman sculpture from south-east England. Over 200 individual items are catalogued, from the counties of Kent, Surrey and Hertfordshire, as well as from Greater London.

For the first time in the British CSIR series, this fascicule contains a comprehensive study of the types and sources of the stone. Nearly every item was

examined visually by an archaeological petrologist, Dr Kevin Haywood, and approaching half in thin-section. It emerges that in the early Roman period sculptors in Kent used stone quarried in northern

France rather than Britain, so demonstrating the importance of cross-Channel connections in the formative years of the province of Britannia.

Reviews for Roman Sculpture from London and the South-East

With its handy indexes, clear glossaries, high-quality plates, robust entries, and ample bibliography, Roman Sculpture from London and the South-East is a superb research tool for those investigating either Roman art or Roman Britain. * Lucia Marchini, Minerva * an excellent and essential piece of work. The images alone make it an invaluable companion to all other works on Roman Britain, brilliantly illustrating the artistic, religious and funerary visual world of the period. It also usefully assembles material, enabling a rapid appreciation of the diversity of artistic forms. The final fascicule - and any update of previously covered areas - is eagerly awaited, in the hope that it will follow the superb lead set here. * Ben Croxford, Antiquity *
