0 Reviews
Kessinger Publishing, Apr 1, 2003 - Social Science - 476 pages
1866. This subject embraces a wider range of antiquity than any other branch of archeology, and this, as in point of artistic value, possesses an immeasurable superiority over the science of numismatics. This textbook is composed for the general reader and treats the subject in a more compendious manner and principally exhibits bearings upon art and history for the lovers of antiquity.
