Brief description: Birte Poulsen is Associate Professor at the Department of History and Classical Studies (Classical Archaeology), Aarhus University. Her main research interests are art and archaeology of the imperial period and Late Antiquity with special reference to architecture and mosaics.
Review Quotes: It is clear that this volume is not simply a catch-all for belated submissions of old conference papers. Several authors include bibliography through 2013, while Stine Birk, Lea Stirling and Birte Poulsen here publish continuations or variations on themes they addressed in an earlier volume.--Alice Christ
