Abstract
Roman mosaics in 2004
Stephen R Cosh
3 - 4
Summary of new discoveries, continuing work, and improvements in the display of Roman mosaics in England during 2004.
What the Romans should never have done: the destruction of Romano-British mosaics in Late ...
Stephen R Cosh
5 - 11
Article on the damage or destruction of Roman mosaics due to the re-use of buildings for industrial or agricultural purposes during the later years of the Roman period, with selected examples of such damage, and also of some sites where a re-interpretation of the evidence may be appropriate.
The Caerwent `Seasons' mosaic
David S Neal
12 - 14
The author argues that, in preparing a new survey of the mosaic from surviving fragments, rubbings/tracings made in 1901 and contemporary photographs of the pavement in situ, hitherto unrecognised features have emerged which may require previous interpretations of the iconography to be reconsidered.
New mosaics from Wigginton
David S Neal
15 - 18
Article on the mosaics of Wigginton Roman villa, Oxfordshire, including some revealed during excavations in 2003-4 of a west wing which had not been previously identified. In particular, a bath-suite was uncovered which featured an aquatic mosaic depicting dolphins, fishes and a bivalve.
A mosaic in western Somerset: Yarford, Somerset, excavations 2003--5
Anthony King
19 - 22
Article on the excavation in 2003-5 of a Roman villa with a polychrome mosaic at Yarford as part of a larger project involving new sites in the southern part of the Quantock Hills. The location, the Late Iron Age enclosure and early Roman activity identified at the site, and the villa itself are described before a detailed description of the new mosaic is given. The article concludes with speculations on the owner and on the end of the villa's existence.
Daphne at Dinnington
Stephen R Cosh
David S Neal
23 - 25
Article on the recovery and reassembly of mosaic fragments from the hypocaust of a Roman villa at Dinnington, Somerset. The fragments indicate a polychrome mosaic of fine workmanship, featuring a figure of the nymph Daphne. The author speculates on other features of the mosaic, including a possible figure of Apollo, and discusses the story of Daphne and Apollo, and mythological transformations as a subject of mosaics elsewhere.
Some thoughts on the Dalton Parlours Medusa mosaic
Stephen R Cosh
26 - 27
Article on the changes made to the Medusa mosaic from Dalton Parlours, Yorkshire, during nineteenth-century re-assembly for display following its excavation, including the omission of bands of guilloche defining the lunette, and its subsequent repair and restoration to an appearance closer to its original form. The author concludes with a discussion on the hazards of `creative restoration'.
