This book traces the development of hammering techniques in Greek, Roman and related (e.g. Graeco-Scythian) jewellery and toreutics based on the analysis of ancient tools used for manufacture of hammered metalwork, primarily punches and matrices with figural designs, and actual finds of metalwork and jewellery. The book offers essays on metalworkers' tools from Mycenean Greece until the Late Roman Period. It includes chapters on different categories of hammered metalwork in the corresponding periods and Excursus about particular matrices or punches and hoards of toreutics. Bringing together the tools of metalworkers and actual objects manufactured with them opens new perspectives on chronological and cultural attribution of ancient jewellery and toreutics and illuminates the role of mass production and artistic creativity in ancient history. The book is illustrated with 133 photographs.

This work provides a survey of the jewellery of Roman Britain. Fully illustrated and accessible to both the specialist and amateur enthusiast, it surveys the full range of personal ornament worn in Britain during the Roman period, the 1st to 4th centuries AD. It emphasizes the presence of two distinct cultural and artistic traditions, the classical element introduced by the Romans and the indigeneous Celtic background. The interaction of these traditions affected all aspects of Romano-British life and is illustrated in the jewellery.; The meaning and significance of personal ornament in a wide range of cultures is discussed, including such matters as symbolism and the display of wealth and status. The principal types of Romano-British jewellery are classified in detail, drawing attention to those which can be relatively closely dated. The coverage is not restricted to precious-metal objects, but includes jewellery made of base metals and materials such as bone, jet and glass. The final chapter is devoted to the techniques of manufacture, a subject which has become better understood in recent years as a result of scientific advances. The book should appeal to anyone who practices, teaches or studies Roman archaeology, together with all those with a professional or amateur interest in the history of jewellery and design.

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Finger Rings, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman: In the Departments of Antiquities, British Museum This Catalogue of the Finger Rings, prepared by Mr. F. H. Marshall, marks in some respects a new departure in the series of Departmental publications to which it belongs. It includes not only the rings of this Department, but also those rings which, although Greek or Roman of the classical period, are for any reason to be found in other Departments of the Museum. (see note below.) A large proportion of those here described belongs to the series collected by the late Sir A. W. Franks, and bequeathed by him in 1897. In many instances these rings have designs carved either in the metal bezels or in stones set in them. These designs belong more properly to the Catalogue of Gems, in the new edition of which they will be fully dealt with. As the present Catalogue deals primarily with the types of rings, and not with the subjects of the engravings, such designs are here described as they appear on the rings and not from casts. For the same reason, no special prominence is given to the subjects (as in other volumes Of this series) by the use of Clarendon type.

The Elder Pliny's Natural History provides a wide-ranging account of human achievement in the arts and sciences in the first century AD. This book re-examines Pliny's work for the first time since the 1920s. Modern experiments, simulating the techniques described by Pliny, and an in-depth study of his development of a technical language, confirm his unique contribution to our knowledge of science in early imperial Rome.
