Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an enthralling collection of Greek coin imagery, drawn from the extensive descriptions of religious sculptures and architectural monuments recorded by the traveler and writer Pausanias in the second century A.D. The text pairs each coin image, taken from the coins minted by Greek cities in the Peloponnese, with Pausanias's original observations. Through this fascinating pairing of ancient text and numismatic representation, the author offers fresh insights into the artistic milieu of Ancient Greece. By comparing the depictions on coins with Pausanias's first-hand accounts of the sculptures that inspired them, we gain an unprecedented glimpse into the visual culture of this era. Moreover, by contextualizing the coins within the broader historical and social climate of the Peloponnese, the book sheds light on the multifaceted religious practices, beliefs, and artistic conventions of the time. From iconic depictions of gods and goddesses to intricate representations of mythological scenes, each coin image enriches our understanding of Greek art and mythology. It also invites us to ponder the vital role that coinage played in disseminating and popularising artistic motifs across the region. This innovative approach not only enhances our appreciation of the artistry and craftsmanship of Greek coins but also unveils the rich tapestry of ancient Greek culture and its enduring significance in the history of Western art. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
