200832797American School of Classical Studies. 2008. Hardcover. Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Book is like new. Still wrapped in plastic.; Examples of Roman period red-gloss and red-slip pottery terra sigillata found during excavations in the Athenian Agora form the focus of this volume. These fine wares like the other table wares of the first seven centuries A. D. Discussed here were all imported--a very different situation to earlier periods where Athens was known as a great ceramic-making center and perhaps the result of mass destruction of potters' workshops during the Sullan sack of 86 B. C. While the image of a demolished pottery industry is tragic the consequent conglomeration of fine-wares from many parts of the Roman empire in one city makes the Athenian Agora a tremendous source of comparanda for archaeologists working all round the Mediterranean. Written by the world's leading expert on Roman pottery this huge catalogue illustrating and identifying multiple shapes and types of decoration will therefore be an essential reference book.; The Athenian Agora.

Volume XXXIV.; 34; 196 pages; Greek and Roman glass from vessels of all sizes and shapes is discussed in this volume which presents 402 fragments of glass vessels excavated in the Athenian Agora. Only 36 pieces date to the Classical and Hellenistic periods when the Agora was at the height of its importance and just 15 are assigned to the 9th to 19th centuries. The remaining 350 are subdivided into four periods covering the Roman and Late Antique history of Athens: 86 B. C. To ca . A. D. 100 A. D. 100 to 267 A. D. 267 to 395 and A. D. 395 to ca. 700. The fragments all have a findspot which allows the author to make some comments about the possible uses of the original vessels. The volume is divided into the following sections: history of the project historical overview important contexts discussion of the catalogue by period and by shape catalogue deposit summaries concordance. Most catalogues of ancient glass present pieces out of context where function and date can only be guessed at. This volume by publishing the main types of glass from a single site provides richer contextual information and will thus be an essential reference work for archaeologists and specialists in ancient art. . 0876612346 .

20118444Cambridge University Press. 2011. Hardcover. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 262 pages; This book examines the application of drawing in the design process of classical architecture exploring how the tools and techniques of drawing developed for architecture subsequently shaped theories of vision and representations of the universe in science and philosophy. Building on recent scholarship that examines and reconstructs the design process of classical architecture John R. Senseney focuses on technical drawing in the building trade as a model for the expression of visual order showing that the techniques of ancient Greek drawing actively determined concepts about the world. He argues that the uniquely Greek innovations of graphic construction determined principles that shaped the massing special qualities and refinements of buildings and the manner in which order itself was envisioned. . 1107002354 .
