Excavations at Gloucester: Third Interim Report: Kingsholm 1966–75
The results of excavations carried out in 1972 and 1974 and the records of builders' and service trenches over nine years, combined with reports of past discoveries, make up a body of evidence for Kingsholm's use first as a pre-Flavian military site (or sites) of more than one phase covering c. 50 acres, then as a late or sub-Roman cemetery and later as the site of the late Saxon and later aula regis. The archaeological evidence for the palace is…
The Shrine of St. Peter and the Vatican Excavations
The Villa Item and a Bride's Ordeal
The paintings in the triclinium of the Villa Item, a dwelling-house excavated in 1909 outside the Porta Ercolanese at Pompeii, have not only often been published and discussed by foreign scholars, but they have also formed the subject of an important paper in this Journal . The artistic qualities of the paintings have been ably set forth: it has been established beyond all doubt that the subject they depict is some form of Dionysiac initiation: a…
Note on a Roman Sarcophagus in the Campo Santo, Pisa
In the course of an article, contributed to this Journal , entitled ‘A Roman Sarcophagus at Pawlowsk and its Fellows,’ I mentioned a ‘garland-sarcophagus’ in the Campo Santo at Pisa as being probably still earlier than our first definitely dated ‘garland-monument’ of the second century A.D., namely the Lateran sarcophagus from the Hadrianic tomb near the Porta Viminalis. The garland-style of the Pisan sarcophagus I was not then in a position to d…
A Roman sarcophagus at Pawlowsk and its fellows
In the collection of ancient sculpture at Pawlowsk, near Leningrad, there is a Roman sarcophagus which has never been published (plate I, a-c), though long known to students of ancient sarcophagi. A certain amount of information as to its history is supplied to us from the following sources. Stephani appends to his description of the sarcophagus in Die Antiken-Sammlung zu Pawlowsk , 1872, p. 24, no. 42, a short notice of its previous career. ‘Der…

Further notes on Britannia coin-types
(1) In connexion with the two Antonine types of Britannia with the legionary standard, described in my paper on ‘ Britannia on Roman Coins of the Second Century A.D.’ ( J.R.S. xiv, p. 149 and note 2, plate xxiv, 5, 6), it should have been mentioned that there are two other provinces, besides Britannia , which are represented with this attribute instead of the usual vexillum. Both the Dacia of Hadrian (Cohen, Les monnaies de l'empire romain , 2, 1…
Britannia on Roman coins of the second century A.D
The history of art in the Roman period is the history of the interplay of two opposite tendencies. On the one hand there is the Roman taste for realism and accurate representation, combining with the Italian love of naturalism; on the other, the fostering of the Greek tradition of idealism in art both by the Greek artists who worked at Rome and by the Greek enthusiasts among their Roman employers. After the culmination of Roman historical art und…
