Peter Clayton guides the reader through the vast legacy of Roman craftsmanship — sculpture, mosaic, fresco, jewellery, and monumental architecture — illuminating the extraordinary skill and ambition of a culture that ruled the known world for centuries.\n\nClayton brings the authority of a seasoned archaeologist and historian to bear on his subject, arguing that Roman art is far more than mere imitation of Greek precedent — it is a confident, innovative tradition in its own right. His prose is accessible yet scholarly, making this richly illustrated volume as rewarding for the general enthusiast as for the serious student of antiquity. For anyone who has ever stood before a Roman ruin and wondered at the civilisation that built it, this work offers answers — and raises questions that will linger long after the last page is turned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210238009563,"sku":"2026200012963-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/074db3cb-87b1-4974-97b6-137adb630a23.png?v=1788267831","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012963-secondhand-treasures-of-ancient-rome","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
