Publications

ASPROM publishes a journal, Mosaic, in December each year. It contains articles about all aspects of ancient mosaics, notes on all the Roman mosaics discovered in Britain in the previous year, and reviews of new books about mosaics. Join ASPROM to receive a copy.

Current issue and sample articles.

Prospective contributors should contact the Editor, Dr Stephen Cosh (editor@asprom.org), as early as possible in the year. Guidelines for the preparation of articles can be downloaded here.

Back issues from no. 13 (1986) onwards are available from the Secretary, at £3 each (£2.50 to members) plus postage (£2.50 for up to four copies, £5 thereafter).

The Roman Mosaics of Britain

ASPROM has been instrumental in producing a comprehensive record of all the Roman mosaics ever found in Britain, The Roman Mosaics of Britain by David S. Neal and Stephen R. Cosh. The Corpus is being published by the Society of Antiquaries, in four volumes. Three of the four volumes have now been published, covering northern, south-western and south-eastern Britain; the fourth volume, dealing with western England and Wales, is scheduled to appear in 2010. Read more about this monumental project and how you can help.

 
AIEMA publications
ASPROM also contributes to the international publications produced by our parent organisation AIEMA (L'Association International pour l'Étude de la Mosaïque Antique). AIEMA publishes a regular Bulletin containing comprehensive bibliographic listings relating to mosaics in the ancient and medieval worlds, compiled from information supplied by AIEMA members all over the world. Many members of ASPROM have also contributed to the series of international mosaic congresses organised and published by AIEMA.
