Die Gesichtskruge der Romischen Nordwestprovinzen

An analysis of the many types of flagons decorated with human faces that were made throughout the Roman Northwest Province from the 1st century onwards. Following comparisons with examples from prehistory, especially from the Near East, Dövener examines types region by region, including northern France, the Rhein and Mosel, Britain, the Danube as well as brief assessments of similar material from Roman North Africa and the Near East. The discussion is followed by a catalogue of vessels, many of which are illustrated.
