This is the first complete catalogue of one of the finest small collections of classical stone sculpture in the United States. The more than 150 works include prehistoric Cycladic pieces, the most important copy of Skopas's Meleager, an outstanding group of Republican and Imperial Roman portraits, and an important collection of late Roman, Egyptian, and Syrian reliefs. Full bibliographies, provenances, and descriptions of the condition of each piece make this an indispensable reference work for any student or scholar of classical art or archaeology.

Dr. Cornelius C. Vermeule, emeritus curator of classical art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is the author of numerous books and articles on classical art and archaeology. Amy Brauer is assistant Curator of Ancient Art at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum.
