The ancient Greeks traveled widely by sea and founded colonies in
far-flung locations. On the north coast of the Black Sea were a
number of such Greek settlements, places where the Greeks made
contact with the local Scythian population. Greek goods were traded
extensively throughout the region, and many of these
often-luxurious articles eventually made their way into
tombs.
From its wealth of such Greek finds from the Black Sea, the State
Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg has lent some 175 Greek objects
to an exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa.
This richly illustrated catalogue to the exhibition presents nine
essays on the archaeology of the northern Black Sea region and its
history, culture, and art, including sculpture, pottery, gems, and
jewelry. Written by curators at the State Hermitage Museum, Greeks
on the Black Sea presents an intriguing world at once Greek and
barbarian.
