Description

Explore the history of collecting with The Nature of Classical Collecting: Collectors and Collections, 100 BCE - 100 CE. While systematic collecting is often linked to the fifteenth-century Italian cabinets of curiosities, this work by Routledge examines much older roots. The text argues that collecting practices in classical Greece and Rome represent a significant period in the history of this activity. By looking beyond the prehistoric origins and the Renaissance, this book provides a deep look into how collections functioned during the classical era. It is an essential resource for those interested in the history of museums, art, and the evolution of how humans gather objects for symbolic purposes.

Key Features

This Routledge publication examines the history of collecting practices from 100 BCE to 100 CE.

The book explores the origins of collecting as a systematic activity for symbolic needs.

Part of the Perspectives on Collecting series, this text focuses on classical Greece and Rome.

It provides a historical counterpoint to the traditional view that collecting began in fifteenth-century Italy.
