Book Details

First Sentence

"The exhibition is arranged in the central rectangle of what was formerly the Etruscan Saloon ; it includes Wall-Cases 25-64, 94-119, and Table-Cases E-K. The subject naturally divides itself into the two chief headings of public and domestic institu- tions, and each of these occupies one half of the room. On the West side are grouped the sections relating mainly to Public Life, on the East those of Private Life : of the former, the section illus- trating the monetary system of the ancients and its development naturally leads up to the Department of Coins and Medals. For the general scheme of the exhibition, reference should be made to the Table of Contents."

Edition Notes

The references at the end of each section correspond to the
numbers of the objects in this Guide. These numbers, which are placed
near the objects in the Cases, are distinguished by being in red upon a
white ground. Numbers attached to the objects (such as B 77 on a
vase) refer to the British Museum Catalogues, which should be consulted
for fuller details than can be given in the Guide.
