In the latest volume of the MAR catalogue series the ancient sculptures of the Museum of Laon (France) are presented for the first time in their entirety. The catalogue consists largely of the collection assembled by Paul Marguerite de la Charlonie (1844-1921) and includes Greek and Roman exhibits from the Archaic period to late antiquity. The extremely rich inventory includes Cypriot kouroi, Hellenistic rulers, portraits of Roman emperors, Attic grave reliefs, and Roman sarcophagi. All objects were documented by Gisela Geng, photographer-in-chief of the Research Archive for Ancient Sculpture (Cologne), and are presented in detail in German- and French-language catalog articles.

North Africa is one of the most populated Regions in the Roman Empire. At the beginning of the 3. Cent. A.D. a tremendous agglomeration of cities was located in Africa proconsularis which had a very individual urban culture. This book deals with the question: how the economy and the cultural identity of a micro-region shaped their cityscapes? Thanks to an interconnected analysis of architecture, rural hinterland and their inhabitants the author shows how a regional understanding of the city altered the urban landscape.
