This book presents the very first discussion of an astonishing group of painted Roman
reliefs discovered from an imperial complex, at the centre of Diocletian's empire
at Nicomedia. This ground-breaking volume offers the first publication of a major
new monument of Roman power in Asia Minor - sixty-six painted marble frieze panels
from the city of Nicomedia with an excellent archaeological and architectural context
from the Tetrarchic period. During the rule of Diocletian, Nicomedia was the centre
of the Late Roman Empire in the east, and the reliefs of the frieze, which decorate
an imperial complex built at this time, represent an astonishing combination of imperial,
mythological, and agonistic scenes. The reliefs found in Nicomedia fill an important
gap in our knowledge between the Severan and Constantinian periods, and provide the
East Roman Empire with a defining monument that can be set beside and in striking
counterpoint to - the Arch of Constantine in Rome. Published here in full colour and
fully documented, the Nicomedia Frieze is, in this hugely important scholarly monograph,
brought to the public for the very first time
