The Roman Villa | Author: | | Shear, Theodore Leslie | Series Title: | | Corinth | Volume: | | 5 | Publication Place: | | Cambridge, Mass. | Publisher: | | American School of Classical Studies at Athens | Date: | | 1930 | Abstract: | | Excavated in 1925, the Roman villa at Corinth is famous for its well-preserved mosaics, showing goat herdsmen and other pastoral themes. Of rectangular design, they are curtailed or supplemented to fit into irregularly-shaped rooms, leading to the author's suggestion that these were Late Hellenistic creations reused in a Roman context. The book is notable for its large size and portfolio format, with large-scale color plates following loose-leaf text pages. | Area: | | Roman Villa, Shear's | JSTOR: | | http://www.jstor.org/stable/i403360 | Google: | | http://books.google.gr/books?id=kucsAwEACAAJ&dq=inauthor:%22shear%22+corinth&hl=en&sa=X&ei=cGBzU-jNFMmR1AWGu4GIAw&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAA | URL: | | http://www.ascsa.edu.gr/index.php/publications/book/?i=9780876610510 | References: | | Image: digital 2014 11121
