This is the first publication on a deposit of broken marble statues, discovered in 1992 during excavations of the Roman Sanctuary of Pan at Caesarea Philippi , in Panias, Israel.
From 245 fragments, twenty-nine statues ranging from colossal to miniature and representing mainstream Graeco-Roman deities and mythological figures are reconstructed. Most date stylistically to the first through the late fourth centuries AD.
A catalogue discusses each sculpture's subject, comparanda, workshop associations, and date; three interpretive chapters present the artistic and material origins of the sculptures; patterns of patronage, chronology of sculptural dedication, and display; and sculptural evidence for the sanctuary's pantheon.
Elise A. Friedland is Professor of Classics in the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at George Washington University Washington, DC. She is also the sculpture specialist for the Excavations at the Sanctuary of Pan at Caesarea Philippi in Israel and for the site of Jerash in Jordan.
