Two Romano-British Genii

Extract
The Roman relief sculpture at Chedworth Manor, Gloucestershire (PL. XX A), discussed in this paper, was first brought to my attention by Dr Martin Henig of the Institute of Archaeology, Oxford, and it is published here for the first time by kind permission of its owner, Mr J. D. F. Green. Traditionally brought to the Manor by the Knights of St John during their occupation of it in the Middle Ages, the relief was in position on an outer wall of the house some fifty years ago. But after World War II Mr Green moved it inside the house, where it now adorns one wall of the principal reception-room. At Mr Green's invitation I saw and studied it there.
