The Art of Making in Antiquity: Stoneworking in the Roman World
The Art of Making in Antiquity: Stoneworking in the Roman World
The Art of Making in Antiquity is an innovative digital project
designed for the study of Roman stoneworking. Centred on the
photographic archive of Peter Rockwell, this website aims to enhance
current understanding of the carving process and to investigate the
relationship between the surviving objects, the method and sequence of
their production and the people who made them. The resource comprises
around 2,000 images, largely Roman monuments with a selection of
contextual sources, accompanied by analysis of the working practices
underlying their making.
