This authoritative catalogue presents the museum's extraordinary holdings — from Egyptian antiquities and Greek ceramics to Roman bronzes and ancient weaponry — illuminating the depth and breadth of a collection that draws direct connections between the classical world and the European artistic tradition. Each artefact is meticulously documented, placing objects within their historical and cultural contexts, and revealing the stories of the civilisations that created them.\n\nEdited by the distinguished archaeologist and art historian Mark Merrony, the volume brings together leading scholarly voices to argue for the enduring relevance of classical antiquity in understanding our own cultural heritage. The writing is precise yet accessible, combining rigorous academic insight with an infectious passion for the ancient world that will captivate both the seasoned classicist and the curious newcomer alike. A triumph of scholarship and curation, this catalogue leaves one pondering a fundamental question: what do the objects we preserve say about the civilisations we aspire to become?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572301730011,"sku":"2026100011011-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c7b0add8-405c-43df-b566-979ef6fd37a5.png?v=1791166235","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011011-secondhand-mougins-museum-of-classical-art","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
