Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Contra D Symons (86/531) numerous representations of lions are found in RB art. The mechanism of their introduction to Britain is considered, the army, merchants, and cult being important. The lion was symbolic of death and of fate, hence is used in funerary contexts; it also had apotropaic use or was seen as purely decorative. The Rocester mounts are figured and discussed. | ||
