Author Description

The Corpus Signorum Imperii Romani (CSIR) is an international catalogue, which aims since 1963 to collect and publish sculpture all over the Roman Imperium. It belongs thus to the indispensable basics for the investigation of historical issues in the Imperium Romanum. The territory of Flavia Solva is one of the last regions in Roman Noricum not yet covered by CSIR. The present first volume of CSIR Flavia Solva contains 69 items found in the area of this Roman town. It reflects the whole variety of provincial Roman sculpture, containing marble pieces of high quality as well as plain local products. It reveals the art production of a region in southern Noricum, which shows characteristic forms of sepulcral sculpture as for example the numerous stelae copings with lions or the Icarus statuettes.
