Description

xiii, 400 pages. Color plates. Many black and white figures. Bibliography. Index. "The excavations on the site of the city of Nicopolis in northern Bulgaria represent a major research programme carried out to investigate the character of urbanism in Antiquity. The ceramic sequence dates from the early second century AD down to the end of the sixth century and also includes early medieval and post-medieval pottery. The glass report provides a dated sequence of forms, based upon the study of over 7,000 finds ranging from high-quality Roman, late Roman and early Byzantine imports, including a cage-cup (diatretum) and high-quality engraved examples, to common types found throughout the Roman empire. Also discussed is the evidence for glassworking in the ancient city itself". - Dust jacket. Book clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear.
