Abstract
No gathering of students of the marble trade in antiquity can fail to pay tribute to the work of one particular scholar, John Brian Ward-Perkins. The depth of his learning and the breadth of his interests and activities were too great to be fully treated even in twenty five densely packed pages of biography (1). Born in Kent in 1912, his interest in the past was evident even before going up to read Greats at Oxford, whence he graduated with a First in 1934. His early work centered on the pre-Roman Iron Age in Britain and Gaul, though he traveled widely as Senior Demy and Craven Fellow, including a visit to Rome where his life-long study of ancient sculpture and architecture can be said to have begun.
