Visions of the Roman North: Art and Identity in Northern Roman
Britain is the first book to present an analysis of art from the
northern frontier zones of Roman Britain and to interpret the
meaning and significance of this art in terms of the formation of a
regional identity at this time. It argues that a distinct and
vibrant visual culture flourished in the north during the Roman
period, primarily due to its status as a heavily militarized
frontier zone. Artworks from forts and the frontier-works of
Hadrian's Wall and the Antonine Wall, along with funerary monuments
from military and civilian cemeteries, are analysed and discussed.
The book also explores religious sculpture depicting classical
deities, Romano-British gods and goddesses and eastern deities such
as Mithras in terms of the use of imagery in various belief systems
and in terms of the establishment of individual and group
identities.
