Why don't you give exact delivery time?

Short description:
This, the last of the planned fascicules of the Corpus Signorum Imperii Romani for Great Britain, includes 500 sculptures, all of stone. Its geographical area covers the hinterland of Hadrian's Wall, including the modern counties of County Durham, Cumbria, Lancashire, and Derbyshire, as well as Northumberland to the south of the Stanegate.
Long description:
Corpus Signorum Imperii Romani for Great Britain is an international project to catalogue all the decorated stonework from the Roman Empire. Any stone that has been carved with motifs of any sort, whether an altar, statue, relief, architectural embellishment, tombstone or graffiti.
During this project several new pieces of Romano-British sculpture have been discovered and some long-lost have been re-found. Many of the stones have curious histories, and even folk legends about them. Others fill gaps in our knowledge about the Romans in the north of England and offer evidence about religious practice in the Military Zone at this time.
