DJ has light edgewear with light chipping and a couple of small tears. ; An Official Publication of the American Museum of Natural History New York; 305 pages; Oversized. This is the story of man's restoration of Pompeii to the world from the earliest excavations to the most recent soundings. Each step of the archaeological history brought about a clearer picture of life as it was. The discoveries also had their impact on the times -- "Pompeian fever" swept 18th and 19th century Europe. This is also the story of the men who dominated the digs -- the initial probings of Prince d'Elbeuf the adventures -- amorous and otherwise -- of the Hamiltons and of the dedicated Italians such as Fiorelli and Spinazzola who eventually brought systematic order to the digs. As a pictorial reinforcement to the text the book presents a display of views and overviews reconstructions and artistic interpretations line drawings and etchings engravings vintage photography and contemporary photographs. .

ROMAN ART
Universe Books. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1971. Hardcover. 0876631456 . Former owner's name has been deleted in pen to ffep. Else fine. ; Universe history of art; 200 pages; Roman art emerged from an intermingling of Italo-Etruscan and Greek-Hellenistic forms. It was the conservative art of warriors in which the subject was far more important than the form. It is not surprising therefore that the different phases of Roman art are named after political epochs individual rulers and dynasties. The buildings themselves were not based on the Greek laws of proportion; they no longer respected the landscape but dominated it and Roman architecture would be the source for much that was done in later centuries. In this comprehensive survey covering the period 5000 BC-AD 305 the author examines the influences innovations aims and achievements of Roman artists in all media and draws on a wide range of examples from Rome itself as well as the empire - Pompeii the Colosseum the Pantheon the aqueduct in Tarragona Hadrian's villa at Tivoli and Trajan's column. .

THE FIRST WESTERN GREEKS
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine. 1992. Softcover. 0521421640 . Very light creasing to one corner. Else fine. ; The purpose of this book is to acquaint a wider audience with an archaeological project that could hardly be more revolutionary: the effective discovery and excavation from 1952 onwards of the first Greek establishment in the West Euboean Pithekoussai on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples. This vast trading settlement is not at all typical of the Western colonial scene. Pithekoussi is very large and very early and it marks the northern limit of Greek South Italy; furthermore the earliest immigrants may not all have been Greek. This book about Pithekoussai and its implications is based on Giorgio Buchner's excavations there which have revealed a variety of component sites so far without parallel in the contemporary Greek homeland. The cemetery the acropolis dump and suburban industrial quarter each shed light on a different aspect of everyday life at one of the great crossroads of antiquity. ; 12mo 7" - 7�" tall; 200 pages .

Senseney John R.
THE ART OF BUILDING IN THE CLASSICAL WORLD Vision Craftsmanship and Linear Perspective in Greek and Roman Architecture
Cambridge University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2011. Hardcover. 1107002354 . 262 pages; This book examines the application of drawing in the design process of classical architecture exploring how the tools and techniques of drawing developed for architecture subsequently shaped theories of vision and representations of the universe in science and philosophy. Building on recent scholarship that examines and reconstructs the design process of classical architecture John R. Senseney focuses on technical drawing in the building trade as a model for the expression of visual order showing that the techniques of ancient Greek drawing actively determined concepts about the world. He argues that the uniquely Greek innovations of graphic construction determined principles that shaped the massing special qualities and refinements of buildings and the manner in which order itself was envisioned. .

Quel r�le jou�rent les monts Albains dans la culture latiale A-t-on eu raison depuis plus de cinq si�cles de chercher inlassablement Albe cette cit� d�o� seraient venus les jumeaux fondateurs de Rome Quelles furent les relations entre ce territoire albain et Rome entre la Ligue latine et la Ville G�ographie historique et culturelle sciences de la terre arch�ologie histoire des religions philologie : le recours � un tr�s large �ventail de disciplines aboutit ici � une synth�se d�o� le souci de la r�flexivit� �pist�mologique n�est jamais absent. Pour comprendre le l�gendaire albain il fallait le replacer dans son cadre. Les anciennes fouilles du XIXe si�cle sont donc restitu�es dans leur contexte. Au-del� de ce qui a �t� conserv� �merge un continent perdu de la connaissance : des paysages disparus des sites oubli�s des textes n�glig�s des rites m�connus et avec eux toute la richesse d�une v�ritable civilisation : en retour on comprendra mieux l�apport des plus r�centes d�couvertes dans ce Latium pr�romain dont le massif Albain constituait pr�cis�ment le centre. C�est l� sur le mons Albanus moderne Monte Cavo que les Anciens pla�aient Alba Longa et ses rois ; c�est l� aussi qu� avait lieu une grandiose c�r�monie religieuse les F�ries Latines d�laiss�es pourtant par la recherche moderne qui n�a su o� situer les myst�rieux sacra Albana. Des inventaires pr�cis des dossiers rassemblant les textes antiques concern�s donn�s � chaque fois avec leur traduction permettent de redonner � ces th�mes toute leur importance et font de ce livre un exceptionnel outil de travail : la premi�re synth�se fran�aise sur cet ancien Latium nagu�re dit primitif objet depuis trois d�cennies d�un grand mouvement international de recherche. M�moire ou histoire � cette interrogation aujourd�hui omnipr�sente ce livre apporte une r�ponse qui constitue une contribution novatrice au d�bat actuel sur les origines de Rome. ; 2 Volume Set COMPLETE.

Volume XXXIV. ; Vol. 34; 196 pages; Greek and Roman glass from vessels of all sizes and shapes is discussed in this volume which presents 402 fragments of glass vessels excavated in the Athenian Agora. Only 36 pieces date to the Classical and Hellenistic periods when the Agora was at the height of its importance and just 15 are assigned to the 9th to 19th centuries. The remaining 350 are subdivided into four periods covering the Roman and Late Antique history of Athens: 86 B. C. To ca . A. D. 100 A. D. 100 to 267 A. D. 267 to 395 and A. D. 395 to ca. 700. The fragments all have a findspot which allows the author to make some comments about the possible uses of the original vessels. The volume is divided into the following sections: history of the project historical overview important contexts discussion of the catalogue by period and by shape catalogue deposit summaries concordance. Most catalogues of ancient glass present pieces out of context where function and date can only be guessed at. This volume by publishing the main types of glass from a single site provides richer contextual information and will thus be an essential reference work for archaeologists and specialists in ancient art. .

MILETOS THE ORNAMENT OF IONIA A History of the City to 400 B.C.E.
University of Michigan Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2001. Hardcover. 047211199X . Very light shelfwear to DJ else Fine. ; 320 pages; Situated on the southwest coast of modern Turkey Miletos stood for centuries as one of the paramount cities in the Hellenic world a gateway between the East and West. It became especially famous as the most prolific mother city in Greek history sending out at least forty-five known primary and secondary settlements into the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea while at home developing into an intellectual and artistic center and one of the birthplaces of Western science and philosophy. A history of Miletos is long overdue. Despite the significance of this city in antiquity and the important results of ongoing excavations there the last full-scale discussion of Miletos was written in 1915. In Miletos the Ornament of Ionia Vanessa B. Gorman provides the first and only modern integrated history of the city collecting and scrutinizing sources about Miletos for the period stretching from the first signs of habitation until 400 B. C. E. This book reviews the archaeological evidence for the physical city demonstrates the likelihood of both Minoan and Mycenaean settlements there and substantiates the fact of the Persian destruction and refoundation of Miletos along orthogonal lines. With insight and diligence Gorman surveys the cults known to have existed during this period; traces the political progress of the city through monarchy oligarchy tyranny and democracy; and sketches the terms of its subjugation under the Persians and later the Athenians. Providing a detailed and up-to-date account of the development of one of the major urban centers of Asia Minor Gorman's book will engage classicists historians and Near Eastern specialists. .
