The Art and Architecture of Lepcis Magna: marble origins by Isotopic analysis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 March 2015
Abstract
This is a summary of a paper given to members and guests of the Society of Libyan Studies in London on 6th June 1984. The authors use the technique of stable isotope analysis of carbon and oxygen in samples of marble taken from carefully selected monuments in Lepcis Magna to compare statue types and architectural decoration. Controversial views on the origins of the sculptors working at Lepcis Magna are also examined in the light of this method.
