Book Synopsis Visions of the Roman North: Art and Identity in Northern Roman Britain by : Iain Ferris
Book excerpt: This is the first book to analyse 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. It argues that a distinct and vibrant visual culture flourished in the north, primarily due to its status as a heavily militarized frontier zone.
