This first complete published catalogue of one of the most important
classical sculpture collections in the United States includes 154 works
from Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Asia Minor, North Africa, Roman Syria and
Palestine, Egypt, and Babylonia, ranging in date from the late seventh
century B.C. to the fourth century A.D.
Each piece receives a complete description with measurements and report
of condition, a list of the previous published sources, and a commentary
reflecting the most recent scholarship, along with extensive
photographic documentation. Various audiences will appreciate the
accessibility of the scholarship presented here--students may engage in
further study on some of topics raised by individual pieces or groups of
sculptures, and the scholarly community will welcome a work that
provides an up-to-date and comprehensive examination of a significant
classical sculpture collection in one of the world's great archaeology
museums.
