This important publication brings together substantial holdings in two Departments at the British Museum: Greek and Roman, and Prehistory and Early Europe. Some 850 objects are arranged chronologically from the Copper Age to the Early Iron Age, and within these headings the objects are arranged typologically. Each entry includes a description, comparanda and bibliography. The authors are leading international scholars in Italian bronzes of these periods.
