Cypriot Antiquities in the Collection of the University of Melbourne
A full catalogue of the Cypriot antiquities in the University’s Classics and Archaeology Collection, located at the Ian Potter Museum of Art, is now available. Written by Sally Salter, a long-time researcher of this important collection, the book is generously illustrated and available from the publisher or the University Bookroom. The objects date from the early Bronze Age (c. 2500 BCE), through middle and late Bronze Age and all phases of the Iron Age and Hellenistic times to the Roman era (c. 200 CE). They are principally pottery items, including some very handsome painted jugs, amphorae and bowls from the much-admired Cypriot geometric and archaic periods.
