Summary/Abstract: Th e book gathers a series of contributions from the author’s (MAV) lifelong career on the sculptural fi nds of Roman period from Tomis and the region between the Danube and the Black Sea, not as a mere collection of articles, but as a review and update of previous ideas and observations, along with the resumption of several recently published papers. In the 1st-3rd centuries AD, Tomis reached a remarkable development, and became the seat of the Roman administration and of the West Pontic community (Hexapoleis). However, the ratio between the importance of the city that yielded numerous discoveries over decades and the sheer number of monographic publications is rather contrasting. In this regard, the systematization of most of the sculptural material with detailed stylistic and iconographic analyses, although it does not exhaust the subject, fi lls a substantial gap in the literature.
