This study book by Judith M. Barringer covers the art and archaeology of ancient Greece, from the Bronze Age to the Roman conquest. It is intended for students with no prior knowledge and emphasizes the context and function of buildings, objects, and works of art within their historical setting.
Barringer explores a variety of media, such as sculpture, architecture, vases, coins, and wall paintings. With nearly five hundred illustrations, including more than four hundred in color, the significance and use of these objects are clarified. The book supports studying with text boxes, chapter summaries, timelines, and an extensive glossary.
