The sculpture from \u003cem\u003eLetcetum\u003c\/em\u003e (Wall, Staffs) is also considered.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe works range in quality from highly accomplished and decorative altars and tombstones, to rather ham-fisted efforts which hint that it was not always possible to attract sculptors to these relatively remote places. Such factors are discussed in an extended introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55862364012918,"sku":"9780197262900","price":98.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_35454525_05b3511c-f97d-4fbf-b23c-23a583382476.jpg?v=1753311028","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780197262900-roman-sculpture-from-the-north-west-midl","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
