Part of a museum visitor-friendly series being published by the Museum's press, this volume presents color plates and descriptions of over 100 works of classical art from the Greek, Etruscan,
and Roman era in the Museum's superlative collection. The descriptions offer insights into the meaning, use, and creation of the works, allowing the visitor to gain an understanding of the
lives of their classical owners or audience. An appendix describes the process of conservation of antiquities; several excellent maps are provided. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland,
