  Making clear the close relationship between the political and economic history of the province and its art, this book outlines the origins, influences and developments of Romano-British art and argues that Roman art responded rapidly to diverse influences. It charts the developments of settlements and society and their impact on the host Celtic culture, and assesses Roman art in relation to the people who made it, the people who commissioned it and the people who used it.
