Highlights
Arvid Andrén (1902-1999) was a Swedish archaeologist whose magnum opus, Architectural Terracottas from Etrusco-Italic Temples, published in 1940, is still a main resource in the field of Classical archaeology. In addition to his important scholarship, he shared his love of Rome and ancient Italy with students and colleagues as Director of the Swedish Institute in Rome
When the first international conference on Central Italic architectural terracottas, Deliciae Fictiles, was held at the Swedish Institute in Rome in December 1990, Arvid Andrén participated through a recording with greetings from his home in Lund, Sweden (Fig. 1)
That occasion marked the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of his doctoral dissertation, Architectural Terracottas from Etrusco-Italic Temples (Lund and Leipzig 1940), a work still used as a reference tool by scholars and students all over the world
