This splendidly illustrated book presents sixty-four images of the finest examples of Greek, Etruscan, Cypriot and Roman art dating from the Prehistoric to the late Roman Period, and ranging from the monumental to the decorative. The concise text provides an introduction to the art, technology and history for the layman, as well as new insights for the expert. Many of the objects are published here for the first time."--BOOK JACKET.
