"The primary purpose of this work is to provide an account of the aesthetic aspects of the arts of the ancient Mediterranean world, including Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Aegean, through classical and early Christian times, from a consistent point of view. Through such a study, one may hope, there will emerge new insights into these arts as aspects of their own cultures and as the fundamental phase of the history of Western art." ---- from the Preface..
