Ancient Lamps in the J Paul Getty Museum, Paperback / softback Book

Ancient Lamps in the J Paul Getty Museum Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

In the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum are more than six hundred ancient lamps that span the sixth century BCE to the seventh century CE, most from the Roman Imperial period and largely created in Asia Minor or North Africa.

These lamps have much to reveal about life, religion, pottery, and trade in the ancient Graeco-Roman world.

Most of the Museum's lamps have never before been published, and this extensive typological catalogue will thus be an invaluable scholarly resource for art historians, archaeologists, and those interested in the ancient world.
