Description

Explore the deep history of human curation with The Nature of Classical Collecting: Collectors and Collections, 100 BCE - 100 CE. While many believe systematic collecting began with the Italian cabinets of curiosities in the fifteenth century, this book looks much further back into the past. This work from the Perspectives on Collecting series examines how collecting practices functioned during the classical era. It challenges the idea that collecting is a modern phenomenon by tracing the origins of these activities back thousands of years. By focusing on the period between 100 BCE and 100 CE, the text provides a detailed look at how collections served symbolic purposes rather than just practical needs. Ideal for students, historians, and museum professionals, this book offers a scholarly look at the roots of museum culture and the ancient practices that shaped how we understand objects today. It provides a necessary perspective on the evolution of how humans gather, organize, and value items within a collection.
