Greek antiquities
Ancient Mediterranean treasures
Greek antiquities are ancient artifacts from Greek civilization—sculptures, pottery, coins, jewelry, inscriptions, and architectural fragments dating roughly from the Bronze Age through the Roman conquest.
The term appears frequently in museum collections and art markets: The museum's Greek antiquities wing houses marble statues and painted vases.
Debates over Greek antiquities often involve repatriation claims, particularly regarding objects removed during the 18th and 19th centuries.
