The Furniture and Furnishings of Ancient Greek Houses and Tombs

Ανδριανού, Δήμητρα

Βιβλίο

2009


In this book, Dimitra Andrianou analyses the furniture and furnishings found in late Classical and Hellenistic houses, tombs, and inscriptions of ancient Greece. Questioning the wealth of images of furniture as portrayed on vases, she focuses on the actual remains of furniture found in houses; analyses the symbolic nature of elaborate furniture used every day and in the afterlife; discusses their types and uses in houses, tombs, and sanctuaries; and assembles their ancient vocabulary. The material evidence has been gathered from sites throughout the entire area of Greece that was ruled by the Macedonian kings and is supported by material and literary comparanda from contemporary neighbouring sites. • Presentation of newly excavated material • Synthetic presentation of archaeological, visual and epigraphical material from the fourth to the first centuries BC • Discussion of domestic assemblages and daily life based on current, new theories of approach
Περιεχόμενα: 1. Historiography; 2. Furniture; 3. Furnishings; 4. Sacred furniture in treasure lists; 5. Conclusion - furniture, luxury and funerary symbolism in Macedonia. (EN)
