This volume of 102 pages with 140 black and white illustrations presents the results of the excavations of 1990 and 1991 conducted by the Superintendency for Cultural Property of the Province of Palermo in collaboration with Brown University at the site of the Bronze Age Citadel at I Faraglioni on the island of Ustica. The walls of the citadel are the best preserved defenses of this period known in Italy or Sicily. Other discoveries include the first known stone sculpture of the Sicilian Middle Bronze Age, a detailed record of domestic architecture and a large repertoire of the pottery of the site, which is related to that of the Milazzese Culture of the Lipari Islands.

Ancient Greek coinage can claim to be as much about art as economics. Many Greek coins are original works of art and, in some cases, the signed originals of important engravers. This catalogue presents the collection of Mr Henry Augustus Greene, bought during the first thirty years of the twentieth century.

The seven papers published here were originally presented at a conference/exhibition at the Georgia Museum of Art in 1997, entitled Jupiter's Loves and his Children . The study of masculinity in art is a subject in its infancy, but Jupiter provides a useful starting point for such a study, being King of the pagan gods and father to many a mortal man. The essays within this volume look at a number of facades of masculinity as well as the female response to male sexual attention.

This collection of essays is as eclectic as the title suggests, with papers including: Iberian warrior figurines and the warrior image in Western Mediterranean sculpture; Financing and design - the development of the Parthenon Program and the Parthenon building accounts; and The mutilation of statuary in Classical Greece.

This work attempts to integrate the architecture and iconography of the Villa of Livia, ad Gallinas Albas . This was a very important residence in its heyday, so it is perhaps surprising that it was only partially excavated until fairly recently. This study examines the villa's construction, dating, architecture, and iconography.

This is a study of the inscriptions from the Sanctuary of Apollo Hypoakraios in Athens. This sacred site is located in one of the many caves that nestle beneath the Acropolis. The history and topography of the site are discussed, before an in-depth of analysis of the votive plaques, all but one of which are Roman in date.
