Classical sculpture

"This first complete published catalogue of one of the most important Classical sculpture collections in the United States includes works from Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Asia Minor, North Africa, Roman Syria and Palestine, Egypt, and Babylonia, ranging in date from the late 7th century B.C. to the 4th century A.D." "Romano describes each piece completely, with measurements, accession data where known, report of condition, a list of the published sources, and commentary reflecting the most recent scholarship. Photographs provide additional information for each entry. An accompanying CD includes 54 color images, many of which are of the pieces. Various audiences will appreciate the accessibility of the scholarship presented here; students may engage in further study on some of the 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."--Jacket.
