Period Paper is pleased to offer a rare collection of collotypes and halftones that explore art and craftsmanship in the late Roman Empire, focusing primarily on the east. In addition to first century eastern Christian illustrations by Saint John Climacus and others, it features a large amount of Roman jewelry uncovered in Egypt. Each collotype is beautifully executed, providing fine detail to every image; and each piece is an invaluable window into the first century CE and the fascinating worlds of religious art and body ornamentation.
