Download or read book The Recovery of Roman Britain 1586 1906 written by Richard Hingley and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-06-26 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the sixteenth century, classical texts enabled Scottish and English authors and artists to imagine the character and appearance of their forebears and to consider the relevance of these ideas to their contemporaries. Richard Hingley's study crosses traditional academic boundaries by exploring sources usually separately addressed by historians, classicists, archaeologists, and geographers, to provide a new perspective on the origin of English and Scottish identity. His book is the first full exploration of these issues to cover such a long period in the development of British society and to relate ideas derived from Roman sources to the development of empire, while also placing ideas of origin in a European context. It is illustrated throughout with artefact drawings, site plans, and photographs.
Download or read book The Art of Roman Britain written by Martin Henig and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the help of over 100 illustrations, many of them little known, Martin Henig shows that the art produced in Britannia--particularly in the golden age of Late Antiquity--rivals that of other provinces and deserves comparison with the art of metropolitan Rome. The originality and breadth of Henig's study is shown by its systematic coverage, embracing both the major arts--stone and bronze statuary, wall-painting and mosaics--and such applied arts as jewelery-making, silversmithing, furniture design, figure pottery, figurines and appliques. The author explains how the various workshops were organized, the part played by patronage and the changes that occurred in the fourth century.

Excerpt: ... apartments, there was a recess of the form described, and among the dlbris occurred the rings that had been employed in the suspension of the curtain drawn across the front. These recesses appear to have continued in use after the Roman occupation, and were perhaps represented by the oriel windows of the middle ages. They are introduced into many parts of Ham House, near Richmond in Surrey, which was built in the year 1610, but considerably altered in the reign of Charles II. In this house some of these recesses are arranged for one person, others for two, and have fittings, if not curtains, of the middle of the seventeenth century. In England, in a villa discovered at Leicester, Mr. Thomas Wright, F.S.A. informs us that a short pillar was found lying upon the tessellated floor of the semicircular division, which seemed to have served as an altar, or to have supported a small statue; and it has been conjectured that this recess served as the "sacrarium," a place of domestic worship where the image of the patron god of the family was placed. The elaborate design of the decorative portion of our pavement is best understood by the beautiful illustration which is given. It shows at a glance the amount of skill and labour which has been bestowed upon the work, the taste and genius displayed in its conception, and the spirited and artistic way in which it has been carried out. For boldness of design, harmony in colour, and the effect of gradations of light and shade in the tints selected, this pavement, with the exception, perhaps, of that from Leadenhall Street, surpasses anything of the kind previously found in the metropolis. It is of a better class of work than those discovered in Threadneedle Street, Lothbury, or at the Excise...
