The Art of Empire in Achaemenid Persia

This volume in honour of Margaret Cool Root gathers seventeen
contributions on Achaemenid Persian art, ranging from the European
re-discovery of Persepolis, <i>via</i> Achaemenid glyphic art, evidence
of polychrome sculpture, and Achaemenid impact in the satrapies, to
possible reflections of Persepolitan art in Classical Greece. The
contributors are colleagues and, in a number of cases, former students
of Margaret Root. As a whole, the volume reflects the wide range of
Root’s interests and her impact on the field of Achaemenid studies.
