The Association for the Study and Preservation of Roman Mosaics

text/html

"ASPROM is an association devoted to the study of ancient mosaics, and especially the Roman mosaics of Britain. It is the British branch of the Association International pour l'Étude de la Mosaïque Antique (AIEMA). [..]Together we provide a body of knowledge and skills covering every aspect of mosaic; the interchange of ideas is a welcome and enjoyable aspect of our meetings. ASPROM organises two symposia a year with talks by members and invited speakers: one is held in London in December, and one takes place in the summer, at a different venue each year, where we can see and discuss mosaics. We also publish an illustrated journal, Mosaic, which is free to members. One of the main aims of ASPROM when it was set up in 1978 was to produce a comprehensive record of all the Roman mosaics ever found in Britain, thus preserving this precious evidence for the future. This project has at last come to fruition with the publication in 2002 of Volume 1 of The Roman Mosaics of Britain by David Neal and Stephen Cosh." / Die Gesellschaft ASPROM, britischer Zweig der Association International pour l'Étude de la Mosaïque Antique (AIEMA) widmet sich der Untersuchung und dem Schutz antiker, insbesondere römischer Mosaiken in Britannien.
