Light bumping to corners. Light shelfwear to dustjacket. ; The first full history of ancient Georgia ever to be written outside Georgia itself, this book also serves as a valuable introduction to the substantial archaeological work that has been carried out there in recent decades. Designed to open up ancient Georgia for the world of scholarship at large, it is not only a history of a neglected region, but also a sustained attempt to inform topics and issues that are more familiar to the historians of antiquity. Examples include myths of the periphery; Caucasian mountains and their passes; Greek colonization; the Persian, Athenian, and Selecuid empires; Pompey's conquest of Mithridates' empire; the development of the Roman frontier in the eastern Black Sea region; Roman diplomacy in Iberia; the Christianization of Iberia; Sassanian ambitions in Transcaucasia; and Byzantine warfare there. ; 9.75 x 1 x 6.5 Inches; 359 pages

Dal foglio di risguardo della sovracop: “Una tenda da campo. Un rustico tavolo operatorio su cui passano feriti e feriti. Intorno la piana steppa ucraina, immensa, gelida, straniera. Le mani esperte lavorano, per salvare, tentando spesso l'impossibile. Poi il torrente della ritirata che tutto travolge. Diario di guerra commosso, commovente, umanissimo, frutto di un'osservazione sempre vigile e intelligente”. Qualche strappo riparato e imperfezioni della sovracop., lieve usuale ingiallimento ma esemplare molto buono.

1 lingua: inglese Legat. edit. in tela con sovrac. illustrata, cm 26x24, pag. 304, con 91 tavole prevalentemente a col. e 72 ulteriori illustraz. a col. e in b / n - a cura di Olga Dmitrieva e Natalya Abramova (editors) - In connection with the exhibition held at the Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, CT (25 May to 10 September 2006) and the Gilbert Collection, London (14 October 2006 to 28 January 2007) - This superbly illustrated book accompanies an exhibition of thirty objects from the exceptional collection of English silver in the Moscow Kremlin Museums, where one of the world's greatest surviving group of English sixteenth - and seventeenth - century silver is housed. Much of the silver from the period was melted down during the English Civil War, making the pieces at the Kremlin exceedingly rare and historically important. The silver items - a large water pot with snake - shaped handle and spout, a flat drinking cup, a magnificent flagon shaped like a leopard, and more - exemplify the developing ties between England and Russia - Some pieces were brought to Russia as diplomatic gifts, some were presented by English trading agents, while others were purchased for the Tsar's treasury. Setting these silver treasures in fuller context, the catalogue also features precious objects made by Russian craftsmen, a group of English firearms from the Kremlin collection, and portraits, engravings, books and maps that illuminate the important diplomatic and commercial exchanges that were taking place between the two countries. In addition to essays by Kremlin curators Natalya Abramova, Irina Zagarodnaya and Elena Yablonskaya, the catalogue will include writings by Paul Bushkovitch, Olga Dmitrieva, Philippa Glanville, Maiija Jansson and Edward Kasinec - Perfetto stato.
