The Collection of Antiquities of the American Academy in Rome Hardback
by Larissa Bonfante, Helen Nagy
Part of the Supplements To The Memoirs of The American Academy in Rome series
Hardback
Description
The foundation of the American Academy in Rome dates back more than one hundred years to the early decades of the last century.
Over the years, the Academy has acquired a study collection of material goods from antiquity, including coins, statues and figurines, lamps, stucco and other architectural fragments, jewelry, and inscriptions.
While most are Roman in origin, some pieces are Greek or Etruscan.
Some were gifts, others come from long-ago excavations, a few were bought.
The Collection of Antiquities of the American Academy in Rome, the latest addition to the Supplements to the Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome series, focuses on highlights of the collection.
Sections of the work are written by area specialists, with introductory material contributed by volume editors Larissa Bonfante and Helen Nagy, both of whom have published widely in archaeology and art history.
