Art, Science, and the Natural World in the Ancient Mediterranean, 300 BC to AD 100: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Art, Science, and the Natural World in the Ancient Mediterranean, 300 BC to AD 100" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
the fourth century BC, these disciplines took on exciting new directions during Hellenistic times. Kings imported exotic species into their royal capitals from faraway lands. Travel writers described unusual creatures that they had never previously encountered. And buyers from a range of social
levels chose works of art featuring animals and plants to decorate their palaces, houses and tombs.
While textual sources shed some light on these developments, the central premise of Art, Science and the Natural World in the Ancient Mediterranean is that our surviving artistic evidence permits a fuller understanding. Accordingly, the study brings together a rich body of visual material that
invites new observations on how and why knowledge of the natural world became so important during this period. It is suggested that this cultural phenomenon affected many different groups in society: from kings in Alexandria and Pergamon to provincial aristocrats in the Levant, and from the
Julio-Claudian imperial family to prosperous homeowners in Pompeii. By analysing the works of art produced for these individuals, a vivid picture emerges of this remarkable aspect of ancient culture.

For my parents, Wayne and Nicky, and for Arianna
This book began life as a doctoral thesis written at the University of Oxford between 2013 and 2016 under the supervision of Bert Smith. I am grateful to Bert for his expert feedback and guidance at all stages of the project. Special thanks are also due to Maria Stamatopoulou for countless helpful discussions over the years.
My manuscript benefited greatly from the thoughtful comments of several readers. I am particularly grateful to Katherine Clarke and Will Wootton, to the editors of the Oxford Studies in Ancient Culture and Representation series, to two anonymous readers for the Press, and to the editorial team at OUP.
Other friends and colleagues have contributed in a variety of ways, and it is a pleasure to acknowledge some of them here: Lucy Audley-Miller, Konogan Beaufay, Ruth Bielfeldt, Angelos Chaniotis, Johannes Eber, Peter Haarer, Stelios Ieremias, Hugh Jeffrey, Priscilla Lange, Jane Massglia, Milena Melfi, Christian Niederhuber, Julia Pacitto, Viktoria Ruchle, Anja Schwarz, Hugo Shakeshaft, Harry Sidebottom, Peter Stewart, and Rachel Wood. My gratitude also goes to the excavation team at Aphrodisias, for much stimulating conversation, and to the Fellows of Lincoln College Oxford, for making my time as the inaugural Lavery-Shuffrey Early Career Fellow in Roman Art and Archaeology so enjoyable.
I have been fortunate to receive generous financial support from several sources. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation funded my doctoral studies; the Craven Committee at the University of Oxford funded research trips to Italy in 2014 and 2015; and the Zilkha Fund of Lincoln College provided a grant covering the cost of image copyright permissions. I wish to thank them all warmly. I am also indebted to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the Institute of Classical Archaeology at LMU Munich for my current research post.
My biggest thanks go to my parents, Wayne and Nicky, for their constant support, and to Arianna, for her endless supply of patience and affection. I dedicate this book to them.
