Acta Hyperborea is a periodical by a group of classical archaeologists associated with Danish universities and museums. Although primarily a journal of classical archaeology, it also covers other fields in classical scholarship. One of the main objectives of the periodical is the interdisciplinary approach to promote a dialogue between historians, philologists and archaeologists.

This volume celebrates the centenary of Classical Archaeology as a University discipline in Denmark by presenting nineteen articles on classical archaeological research within Greek, Etruscan and Roman archaeology, ranging from fieldwork and research projects to the publication of material in Danish collections.

Written by Scandinavian scholars, this book is a collection of essays on topics such as: The Importance of Etruscan Antiquity in Tuscan Renaissance Art; Orfeo Boselli and the Interpretation of the Antique; Michelangelo and Greek Sculpture; Polish Artists and the Emergence of Archaeology in Eighteenth-Century Rome; and Pirro Logorio and the Rediscovery of Antiquity.
