Summary: This is a readable outline of Romano-British art - its origins, influences and developments - which can also be used as an introduction to the subject of Roman Britain. The close relationship between the political and economic history of the province and its art is made clear and, in contrast to the traditional view that Roman art existed only as copies of Greek art and lacked any fundamental dynamism of its own, the authors argue that Roman art responded rapidly to diverse influences.

Hardcover with dust jacket. Zustand: Gut. IX, 188 p.: Ill. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / a good and clean copy without markings. - Roman art has traditionally been regarded as the poor relation of Greek art, and the art of Roman Britain has suffered an even lower reputation, as it was produced in the most far-flung province and embraced 'impure' influences. This book argues that on the contrary Roman art was dynamic in its response to diverse influences, and that Romano-British art displays a striking originality and bears eloquent witness to the creative mix of cultures that characterised Britannia during four centuries. Britain under the Romans was largely populated by Celts until people from all over the Roman world arrived to make their mark on the social and political life of the province. Jennifer Laing charts the development of settlements and society in Roman Britain and their impact on the host culture. She discusses the major landmarks forts, towns, villas many of which still survive, and the relationship of patrons and sources of funding to craftsmen. The book focuses on the main influences and markets religion, personal possessions, jewellery, the countryside, towns and the army and the similarities and differences between various schools and workshops. It looks at the artistic achievements of the era through examples of mosaics, sculptures, metalwork, architecture and pottery, including parallels with other parts of the empire. Art and Society in Roman Britain provides a stimulating and readable outline of art and its role in society in Roman Britain. It is an accessible introduction to the subject and the period for anyone with an interest in Roman Britain, and offers a clear account of the ways in which the field of Roman studies and our knowledge of the sources have developed. Fully illustrated in black and white and with superb colour plates, this carefully balanced picture of life in Roman Britain will appeal to all those with an interest in the creative achievements of an earlier generation of artists and craftsmen. / CONTENTS List of Illustrations Introduction Chapter One THE DEVELOPMENT OF ROMANO-BRITISH ART Chapter Two RELIGION Chapter Three PERSONAL POSSESSIONS Chapter Four JEWELLERY Chapter Five THE COUNTRYSIDE Chapter Six TOWNS Chapter Seven THE ARMY Chapter Eight THE POST-ROMAN PERIOD Notes.
