@caitlinrgreen 10th century seems unlikely, but 12th+ seems possible (compare with eg Notre Dame statues showing Antique influence)?
@DorothyKing Oops, no, meant canal (Foss dyke) may be 10thC! :) Interesting idea that statuette might be 12thC tho', as dyke renovated then!
@caitlinrgreen but still, good to remember rediscovery of Antiquity started long before the Renaissance!
@DorothyKing Absolutely! :) The rather interesting inscription also suggests real in this case, though, I think? :)pic.twitter.com/McQS9VkvE8
@caitlinrgreen @lincsociety Haven't heard of the 10th C theory. Any sources a layman can read? Thanks :-)
@badlymademan @lincsociety If you can access the City by the Pool (2003) volume, see pp. 116+267 :) Brief summary:https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=PxAfvkoSvW0C&pg=PA71#v=onepage&q&f=false …
@caitlinrgreen @lincsociety Thank you! :-)
