Greek antiquity
Ancient Mediterranean civilization
Greek antiquity refers to the civilization of ancient Greece, roughly from the 8th century BCE through the Roman conquest in 146 BCE—encompassing the rise of city-states, classical Athens, and Alexander's empire.
The term often evokes the cultural achievements of this period: philosophy, democracy, theater, sculpture, and the Olympic games.
The museum's collection of Greek antiquity includes Attic vases and marble fragments.
