Description

The traditional Greeks traveled widely by sea and founded colonies in some distance-flung locations. At the north coast of the Black Sea were a variety of such Greek settlements, places where the Greeks made contact with the local Scythian population. Greek goods were traded extensively all the way through the region, and lots of of these regularly-luxurious articles in the end made their way into tombs.
From its wealth of such Greek finds from the Black Sea, the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg has lent some 175 Greek objects to an exhibition on the J. Paul Getty Museum on the Getty Villa. This richly illustrated catalogue to the exhibition presents nine essays At the archaeology of the northern Black Sea region and its history, culture, and art, including sculpture, pottery, gems, and jewelry. Written by curators on the State Hermitage Museum, Greeks At the Black Sea presents an intriguing world directly Greek and barbarian.
