AGM followed by a lecture on 'A 'scandalous trough' and other tales of Romano-British sculpture by Lindsay Allason-Jones.
During the course of work on the final volume of the Corpus Signorum Imperii Romani for Great Britain (Volume I, fascicule 11), which covers the hinterland of Hadrian's Wall, several new pieces of Romano-British sculpture have been discovered and some long-lost have been re-found. Many of the stones have curious histories, and even folk legends about them. Others fill gaps in our knowledge about the Romans in the north of England and offer evidence about religious practice in the Military Zone at this time.
