Abstract

A damaged and badly weathered stone head, discovered prior to 1823 in York, and interpreted as an early portrait of the emperor Constantine I, is here re-examined and identified as a modified image of an earlier, deified emperor, almost certainly Hadrian. A re-analysis of the image as it survives today further suggests that the recarving, into a likeness of Constantine, occurred after a.d. 312 and not, as widely believed, at the moment of Constantine's proclamation as emperor in York in a.d. 306.

Abstract

The article reports on the excavations in an Iron Age site in rural Dorset, England. The excavation team, composed of researchers from Bournemouth University, focused on the Durotriges, one of the Iron Age "tribes" that ruled prehistoric Great Britain. An excavation conducted in a small village close to Bere Regis in central Dorset produced a large number of pits set within an oval enclosure which resembles a late prehistoric monument called a banjo enclosure.
