Collectors, Scholars, and Forgers in the Ancient World - Higbie, Carolyn (Park Professor of Classics, Park Professor of Classics, University at Buffalo)

This volume focuses on how ancient Greek and Roman fascination with works of art, texts, and antiquarian objects gave rise to the production of copies and forgeries. Drawing on a range of examples and up-to-date scholarship on forgery it offers insight into what the ancients found valuable and how they understood their past and the evidence for it.
