Objects: Hellenistic and Roman finds

314 object photographs

Site: Phasoula

This series holds 314 photographs of Hellenistic and Roman finds whose museum record gives no find-place. Sculpture is the largest part: 116 prints captioned "Hellenistic and Roman sculpture" and 57 "Roman sculpture". Pottery follows, under the expedition's period labels for the later wares: Cypro-Hellenistic (often abbreviated "Cypro-Hell."), "Hellenistic Wares" and "Roman Wares I–III".

Thirty-two captions name the Cyprus Museum, sixteen cite the Cesnola Collection by Myres's Handbook numbers (H.C.C.), and seven name the Metropolitan Museum.

The expedition's Hellenistic and Roman excavations included the temples at Soli, published by Alfred Westholm in The Temples of Soli, the later phases of the sanctuary at Mersinaki, and the third-century BC tombs at Kountoura Trachonia. See the Soli finds, Mersinaki and Kountoura Trachonia series and the volume on the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
