Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Around 150 inscribed stones are now known from Wales and the English border, some fifty of these from the north. The roman-letter and ogam inscriptions on these monuments commemorate the elite of post-Roman Wales, mainly men but also a small number of women, and can help us to piece together their complex and changing identities. Indeed, the interplay of and tension between these various identities, Roman, British and Irish, as well as pagan and Christian, are likely to have been a catalyst for the erection of these monuments which were not only grave-markers but also indicators of power and authority and, in some instances, were visible reminders of the ownership of land or an expression of that aspiration. In this paper, focusing mainly on the evidence from north Wales, the author uses the testimony of the early inscribed stones to address aspects of the process of kingdom formation and alongside this questions of Roman continuity and reinvention. | ||
