The volume systematically studies the sculptures from the Roman period that have been discovered in various locations within the prefecture of Kilkis and are now housed in the Archaeological Museum of Kilkis. Specifically, eighty-seven sculptures are published, which represent almost all known categories of sculpture in Roman Macedonia. Given that, for the region of Macedonia, the Roman period begins with the establishment of the Roman province of Macedonia (146 BC), the study includes sculptures dating from that period onward. With the exception of a relatively small number of sculptures whose origin is entirely unknown, the provenance of the majority of the material studied is known. These are chance finds that are either objects of handover or have been found during rescue excavations without archaeological context and are sometimes reused. Among the material examined, almost all the known categories of free-standing and relief sculpture are represented. The free-standing works include representations of divine figures and mortals, while the relief sculpture is represented by funerary stelae and reliefs, funerary altars, sarcophagi, and votive reliefs. Apart from the detailed catalog, significant information on the subject is included in the synthetic part of the study, which is found in the introductory chapter. Eleni Papagianni is responsible for the majority of the entries in the catalog, as well as for editing the entries written by the two collaborating archaeologists, Dimitra Aktseli and Thomi Savvopoulou. The study also includes a bibliography (in both Greek and foreign languages), an English summary, cross-references between the index numbers of the Archaeological Museum of Kilkis and the catalog numbers, indexes of sculptures, names and objects, places, and museums, and the edition concludes with 61 photographic plates.
