Abstract
The Greek and Roman Bronzes : A Recent Study. Abstract. – The first part deals with exhibition catalogues which draw attention to two important pieces : a head from the area of Stara Zagora (Bulgaria) which may be a portrait of Seuthes III of Thrace, and an Apoxyomenos (?) from the waters of the Dalmatian islands, perhaps a second cast of the Ephesus statue in Vienna. The second part reviews three books : on the militaria from Sisak (Croatia) in the Zagreb Museum, on bronze lamps from Romania, and an important and comprehensive study of eastern and orientalising ribbed phialae . These are of eastern origin (Middle-East, Assyria and Iran – see the Nimrud reliefs –) but little represented in Greece, more in Etruria, where there are many imitations. They add to our knowledge of trade between Etruria and the East.
