Chemsex and Mental Health of Men Who Have Sex With Men in Germany
Background: Chemsex is defined as using certain substances immediately before or during sexual activities to facilitate, prolong and/or intensify sexual experience, mainly by some communities of men who have sex with men (MSM). Four substances are typically associated with chemsex: methamphetamine, mephedrone, GHB/GBL, and ketamine. While there is a lot of evidence for increased prevalence of HIV, sexually transmitted infections and other sexual …
Arretine and early South Gaulish Potters
The influence of Arretine on early South Gaulish potters has often been assumed, but direct evidence has hitherto been obscure and difficult to establish. The present note with the accompanying comparative drawings of Arretine and South Gaulish pottery of the Tiberian-Claudian period provides some proof of this influence, which was probably established by direct immigration of certain potters from Arezzo to South Gaul. It is clearly shown in the …
The Volute in Late-Arretine Ware, and its Adoption in Early South Gaulish Terra Sigillata in the Tiberius-Claudius Period
The adoption of the volute in later Arretine ware has been ably demonstrated by Oxé as the result of the unrolling and disarticulation of the drooping palmette—a transformation which Drexel had previously advocated and described. The tendency of the drooping palmette to uncurl the tips of its leaflets (either upwards or downwards) was already visible in the Anta-capital, in a capital of a temple of Apollo at Didyma, and at Priene. No. 5 with an u…
Decorated Ware from Lavoye
Twenty years ago my friend, Monsieur Georges Chenet, who had excavated several sites of Lavoye potteries in the Argonne, sent me a representative collection of fragments of moulds and bowls from these potteries. He had already published several articles on the rich material he had excavated, but he informed me that he intended to write a large and comprehensive monograph on the subject. However, he went with Professor C. F. A. Schaeffer to Syria …
The Mortaria of Margidunum and their Development from A.D. 50 to 400
The difficulty of accurately dating the vessels known as ‘mortaria’ has often been felt by excavators, and Mr. J. P. Bushe-Fox has done a great service in his classification of mortaria rims, admirably illustrated in his First Report of the Wroxeter excavations in 1912 (Soc.Ant. Lond. 1913, figs. 19 and 20); but he himself stated (p. 76) that ‘one of the chief difficulties has been the lack of any publication in which a sufficient number of speci…
Margidunum
Now that my excavation of Margidunum (Castle Hill, Nottinghamshire) has come to an end and the site has been filled in, it may be opportune to give a detailed account of the last three buildings I explored; for they not only furnished results throwing light on the entire history of the camp but exhibit many unusual features of general importance. They form a material addition to the plan of one of the earliest forts of the Claudian conquest situa…
The Origin of the Coritani
It is well known from Ptolemy's Geography (11, ii, 10) that he places the tribe of the Parisii in east Yorkshire with its capital at Petuaria, the position of which has recently been established at Brough-on-the-Humber by an inscription found by Philip Corder, F.S.A. The obvious assumption that this tribe had migrated from the region of the Seine is supported by a comparison of their chariot-burials in the King's Barrow at Arras, at Hesslekew and…

Carinated Bowls (Form 29) from Lezoux
So little is known of the importation into Britain of carinated bowls (form 29) made by Lezoux potters that the examples illustrated on the accompanying plates may enable their work to be more readily recognised. These specimens (with the exception of fig. 13, nos. 2, 8 and 9, in the St. Germain Museum) were obtained by me some years ago during a visit to Lezoux, when, by the kindness of Madame Plicque, the widow of Dr. A. Plicque, I was able to …

Bowls of Acaunissa from the North of England
Since the publication of my article on the work of the potter Acaunissa, Mr. E. B. Birley, F.S.A., has discovered two more signed specimens of his bowls from Corbridge, as well as examples from York and Kirkby Thore, which were undoubtedly executed by Acaunissa. This additional material greatly increases our knowledge of his style and of his figure-types. Moreover, not merely can the period of his activity be determined by the character of his de…
The Decorated Work of the Potter Bvtrio
In the study of decorated Terra Sigillata from a chronological point of view the work of the potter Butrio occupies an important place, for it is not only typical of the Trajanic period, especially of the decade of A.D. 110–120, but in many respects the style is transitional between the characteristics of Flavian and Hadrian-Antonine potters. Most of Butrio's figure-types reveal (as will be shown) a close association with Libertus on the one hand…
Bowls by Acavnissa from Birdoswald, Mainz and Cologne
An interesting bowl in terra sigillata (form 37) with the cursive signature ACAVNISSA was found last year in excavating Birdoswald; and, since the only other known bowls by this potter, were found at Mainz and Cologne, a description of these two bowls may be of some interest, especially from a chronological point of view. The glaze of the Birdoswald bowl is poor and the figures are in places somewhat blurred. The decoration consists of an alterna…
IV.— Roman London
In the absence of historical and epigraphic references to the earliest origin of the Roman occupation of London there is perhaps no material that can be of greater assistance in furnishing evidence on this subject than the red-glazed ware of the Roman Imperial period—the Terra Sigillata —comprising both the Italian Arretine ware and the Gaulish so-called ‘Samian’ ware, and this paper is devoted to a critical study of the earliest types of this cl…
Cursive writing of Gaulish potters
The cursive writing of Latin is known mainly from papyri and from the wax tablets of Pompeii and Dacia (A.D. 131-167), but there is another class which has been overlooked, and this belongs mainly to a period intermediate between the Pompeian and Dacian examples, but is more closely akin to the Pompeian script. The Gaulish potters of Terra Sigillata (the so-called Samian ware) were occasionally addicted, especially in the Hadrianic period, to the…
The pottery of a third-century well at Margidunum
The dating of coarse pottery on Roman sites in the first and second centuries has been fairly well established, but there is still much uncertainty in the chronology of coarse ware during the third and fourth centuries. Hence it may be helpful to describe the pottery found in a Roman well which would appear, from the evidence to be adduced, to have remained open only during the third century. In my plan of Margidunum published in the Journal of R…
The pottery of a Claudian well at Margidunum
At Margidunum (Notts), halfway between Leicester and Lincoln, I have been carrying on excavations for several years, through the kindness of the owner, Mr. F. W. Dobson, J.P., in one of the three fields of the site, the only field at present available. Although much remains to be done, my results serve already to substantiate the surmise that this camp formed a link in the chain of Claudian frontier-posts established by P. Ostorius Scapula in A.D…
