It argues that a distinct and vibrant visual culture flourished in the north during the Roman period, primarily due to its status as a heavily militarized frontier zone. Artworks from forts and the frontier-works of Hadrian's Wall and the Antonine Wall, along with funerary monuments from military and civilian cemeteries, are analysed and discussed. The book also explores religious sculpture depicting classical deities, Romano-British gods and goddesses and eastern deities such as Mithras in terms of the use of imagery in various belief systems and in terms of the establishment of individual and group identities. 650 0 $a Art, Roman $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Group identity $z Great Britain $x History $y To 1500. 650 7 $a Art, Roman. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816806 650 7 $a Group identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00948442 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Archaeopress Roman archaeology ; $v 80. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021136.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=66B5B7DEDCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
