Abstract: |
Catalogue raisonné with discussion intended to show that Roman gems from archaeological sites can illuminate the attitudes of the residents, especially where inscriptions are absent. They depict not only religious subjects (classical, Celtic and oriental) but events of daily life. Final chapters treat comparative material and the re-use of Roman gems in the Anglo-Saxon and medieval periods. See also Curr Archaeol, 4, 1974, 314-7 for more general account. |
