It offers a comprehensive analysis of the art produced during this period, aiming to interpret its meaning and significance in the context of the formation of a regional identity. The book makes a compelling argument that the north experienced a distinct and vibrant visual culture, primarily due to its status as a heavily militarized frontier zone. Through meticulous analysis of artworks from forts, the frontier-works of Hadrians Wall and the Antonine Wall, as well as funerary monuments from military and civilian cemeteries, the author sheds light on the artistic traditions and practices of this region.
Furthermore, the book explores the religious sculpture depicting classical deities, Romano-British gods and goddesses, and eastern deities such as Mithras. It examines the use of imagery in various belief systems and its role in establishing individual and group identities. By examining these diverse artistic expressions, the book provides a deep understanding of the cultural, social, and political dynamics of the northern frontier zones during the Roman period.
This groundbreaking work is a valuable contribution to the field of Roman studies, offering new insights into the complex relationship between art, identity, and power in the ancient world. It will be of interest to scholars, students, and anyone with an interest in the history and culture of Roman Britain.
