THE SO-CALLED PELEUS AND THETIS SARCOPHAGUS IN THE VILLA ALBANI
Iconological Studies in Roman Art , No Iconological Studies in Roman Art , No 1; 0.9 x 8.9 x 6 Inches; 179 pages; In this iconological study, the author demonstrates the invalidity of the current interpretation of the relief on the so-called Peleus and Thetis sarcophagus in the Villa Albani in Rome, an interpretation which goes back to Winckelmann. By applying a modern art-historical method, he arives at a fundamentally new interpretation. It becomes clear that the splendid sarcophagus in the Villa Albani is highly characteristic of ‘academic’ art of the Hadrianic era. The unique nature of the representation on the Albani sarcophagus, which consists mainly of allegorical figures, makes it an excellent point of entry for the interpretation of mythological scenes applied in a funerary context.

GREEK OARED SHIPS 900-322 B.C.
Former owner's embossed seal on ffep and titlepage. Light foxing to textblock. Dustjacket has edgewear with chipping and small tears now protected in mylar. Light browning to DJ. DJ is price-clipped. ; This book is written in the belief that a proper understanding of Greek civilization in antiquity requires some knowledge of its background of seafaring. A knowledge of nautical practice is required for an understanding of some passages of Greek poetry and prose writing, and for a correct interpretation of numerous historical events. This is an attempt at a thorough study of the evidence, both literary and archaeological. Modern reference books tend to repeat the misconceptions of nineteenth-century scholars. In contrast, Mr Morrison and Mr Williams have written a scholarly and scientific study of the subject. They collect in this volume evidence for Greek oared ships between 900 and 322 BC. The book is primarily a catalogue of decorated pottery and quotations from literature and from naval inventories. The pottery is illustrated by diagrams and plates; and the quotations are given in full. ; 356 pages

THE SANCTUARY OF HEMITHEA AT KASTABOS
DJ is price-clipped. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; 23pp of photos, 78 figures. "This is an account of the excavation of a Greek sanctuary in the south-west corner of the mainland of Asia Minor opposite Rhodes--once known as the Carian Chersonese. The excavations took place in 1959-1960. This is the first Greek temple of any size uncovered in that part of Asia Minor, and the discovery of the site of Kastabos, whose existence was known from book V of Diodorus' world history, has entailed the re-siting of several ancient towns in the region. The sanctuary itself, whose main buildings date from c. 300 B. C. , was dedicated to the Goddess Hemithea. It adds to our knowledge of a special sort of Greek shrine which was popular in the early Hellenistic age and is a perfect instance of a religious gathering place designed for a short, well attended festival. The excavations show that, although it was an Ionic temple, the style of the great contemporary temples in Ionia (such as that at Ephesus) has been modified and the design is somewhat similar, in plan and proportion, to that of the temple of Epidaurus. In particular, the discovery of a decorative screen with little shrines round the temple area throws new light on Greek architectural complexes." ; 180 pages

ROMAN LONDON
Minor shelfwear. Minor bumping to corners. ; London has recently witnessed one of the most intense programmes of archaeological excavation ever to have been mounted; few ancient cities have received such detailed attention. This book draws extensively on the results of the latest work to present a challenging new account of the rise and fall of one of the principal towns of the Roman empire. An economic and social history of the city, its suburbs and surrounding territories is reconstructed from the archaeological evidence. London is traced from its origins as a mercantile settlement, established to service and supply the victorious Roman legions, through the years of prosperity at the heart of the growing new province and into a period of recession as imperial growth ceased. The story concludes in the fifth century with the disappearance of the Roman city beneath fields and gardens. ; The Archaeology of London; 152 pages

Dustjacket has edgewear with chipping and small tears. Upper Corners are bumped. ; In autumn 1977 an unplundered royal tomb containing works of art of astounding richness and exquisite craftsmanship was discovered by Professor Manolis Andronicos at Vergina in Macedonia. The excavator's suggestion that the tomb's occupant was probably Philip, son of Amyntas, king of the Macedonians and Captain General of the united Greeks, created an understandable sensation, and aroused world-wide interest in this extraordinary personality: father of Alexander the Great, one of the greatest Macedonian kings, and also one of the most important political figures of antiquity. In response to this interest nine scholars, all eminent specialists in the history of 4th century Greece, describe the tumultuous career of Philip, re-evaluate his personality and re-examine his political achievements in the light of the recent discoveries. The book closes with an account of the excavation of the fabulous treasures of the royal tombs at Vergina by Professor Andronicos. ; 254 pages

ALTBABYLONISCHE URKUNDEN AUS SIPPARA Texte Mit Umschrift, Übersetzung Und Kommentar. Mit 21 Abbildungen Im Text Und 16 Weiteren Auf 2 Tafeln
Chipping to wraps. Tears along bottom of spine. Browning to wraps. ; Beiträge Zur Assyriologie Und Vergleichende Semitische Sprachwissenschaft V, 4; 118 pages; In this early study of the sources then newly recovered from Sippar, Friedrich offers a monumental amount of information. Sippar had yielded thousands of clay tablets and these were still being published in this period. Friedrich begins with the dated sources from the reigns of Sin-umballit, Hammurabi, Samsu-iluna, Abiesuh, Ammi-ditana, and Ammi-zaduga. This is followed by the sources that are not dated, those approximately assigned and those not assigned at all. Texts are given in transliteration and translation, and commentary is included. The next section concerns the representation from seal impressions, those categorized by gods and those categorized by epic. A comparison of names and an overview of published cuneiform texts also play a role in the discussion. The texts are presented in line drawings and photographs of cylinder-seal impressions conclude the work. With illustrations throughout, this brief study is an essential source for Old Babylonian resources located at Sippar.
