This book provides the first comprehensive catalogue and analysis of the nearly 1000 published and unpublished pipeclay objects now known from Britannia since the late 1970s. Examination of this collection provides a detailed typological, chronological and contextual evaluation of the assemblage that highlights the range of religious practices pipeclay objects were used for, and the culturally mixed groups that used them. A key aspect of this study includes comparing the British collection with Continental assemblages to highlight distinctive regional patterns of consumption and belief between the Roman provinces. Additionally, typological and contextual comparison with metal figurines also highlights subtle but significant differences in the use and function of pipeclay and metal figurines throughout Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 318\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.86 x 11.69 x 8.27 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 31, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45116519448620,"sku":"9781407362281","price":198.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/6260\/8940\/files\/WU48Ov4ufj9781407362281.webp?v=1765511170","url":"https:\/\/littleredgeneralstore.com\/products\/fragile-gods-pipeclay-figurines-and-related-objects-in-roman-britain-paperback","provider":"Little Red General Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
