Comprehensive publication of a cache of 8 bronze statues from east-central Gaul.

Fine condition.
From the Collection of a Connoisseur.
The Cobannus hoard is valuable not only from an artistic point of view but also for the information it provides on many different aspects of the religious, social, and political life of Roman Gaul.
