This is the first comprehensive catalogue of the sculpture from
this region of Roman Britain, including the first proper record of
the sculpture from Wroxeter. The sculptures, all in local
sandstone, were carved locally and provide an index of Romanisation
in the far north-west of the Roman Empire - at the Fortress of
Legio II Adivtrix and then Legio XX Valeria Victrix at Devra
(Chester), and at the Fortress and subsequently the civil town of
the Cornovii at Viroconium (Wroxeter). The sculpture from Letcetum
(Wall, Staffs) is also considered. The works range in quality from
highly accomplished and decorative altars and tombstones, to rather
ham-fisted efforts which hint that it was not always possible to
attract sculptors to these relatively remote places. Such factors
are discussed in an extended introduction.
