دانلود کتاب Interpreting Roman London: Papers in Memory of Hugh Chapman

These essays have been written as a tribute from his friends and colleagues to Hugh Chapman, whose tragic death in 1992 took from London’s archaeology one of its most outstanding practitioners. Although Hugh’s interests and enthusiasms ranged over many fields, we decided that such a tribute should have as its core a theme central to much of his career as an archaeologist and museum curator, London during the centuries of Roman rule.

The papers here presented in his honour cover, as might be expected, a wide range of subjects, and we have attempted to group them thematically. They begin with accounts of early ideas about the Roman city and the first serious archaeological efforts to understand it, followed by discussions of the status and character of Londinium. These are succeeded by studies of sculpture and of some of the more humble objects used by its inhabitants, of their religion and burial customs, and of the countryside and settlements that sustained and
surrounded London; and the volume ends with past and present ideas on presenting Roman London to the modern public.
