Hadrian's Wall

2025 - L'Erma di Bretschneider

volumes : illustrations

Includes bibliographical references (volume 1, pages 219-226) and indexes.

This volume offers a fresh investigation of carved stone reliefs depicting deities from settlements along Hadrian's Wall. By examining their archaeological contexts, associated inscriptions, and iconographies, it highlights the multiple roles and innovative features of the gods worshipped in northern Roman Britain. The study reveals how these sacred images reflected processes of religious syncretism and cultural interaction in one of the Empire's most dynamic frontier regions. [Publisher's text]
