- Summary
- "The Guide illuminates ancient societies by explaining and contextualizing the way objects were created and used, focusing on a few overarching themes. Brief essays touch on everyday life, language, commerce and trade, religion, and death and burial among the Etruscans and Romans, and the legacy of the classical world in Western culture." "Lavishly illustrated with 117 color images, 2 maps, and 15 black and white photographs, and including list of readings and an index, the Guide will be of interest to both general Museum visitors and scholars."--Jacket.
