Item description from seller

XXVII, 328 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Mängelkreiszeichnung unten am Schnitt, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / Defect circle drawing at the bottom of the cut, otherwise impeccable condition - This book is an account of an almost comp ete . neglected archaeological epic, the uncovering arc restoration of all the classical monuments of Rome during the French occupation (1809 - 14). This was the first large-scale archaeological programme in the city. Based on archives in Rome and Paris, the archaeology of these five years is placed against its essential background: the fate of the monuments since antiquity, and the contemporary Napoleonic political and cultural history. Mr Ridley describes the enormously complicated organisation which carried out the work, and identifies the leading administrators, archaeologists and architects. The bulk of the work is a detailed account of the excavation and restoration work on the Forum Romanum,the Colosseum, and the Forum of Trajan, the main classical monuments. There are numerous illustrations of the monuments both before and after the French intervention, as well as unpublished plans from the archives. There is an extensive specialist index. -- The book is intended for anyone interested in archaeology, in Napoleonic Europe, and, above all, in Rome.
