Description
C. T. Newton (1816–1894) was a British archaeologist whose great interest was in Greek and Roman artefacts.
He studied at Christ Church, Oxford, before joining the British Museum as an assistant in the Antiquities Department.
Newton left the Museum in 1852 to explore the coasts and islands of Asia Minor, returning in 1861 as Keeper of the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities.
First published in 1865, these volumes contain an account of his travels and archaeological investigations around the Aegean and the coast of Turkey between 1852 and 1859.
Using a series of letters written during his travels, Newton describes his archaeological discoveries together with valuable observations on contemporary Greek and Turkish culture.
He also provides an account of his discovery and excavation of the tomb of Mausolus at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world.
