This volume, written by the staff of the Hermitage, one of the world's finest museums, publishes Greco-Roman antiquities kept there. Much of the material has been unearthed during the museum's field projects in Berezan, Myrmekion and Nympheum. Many items are published here for the first time. In addition, there are new studies and reinterpretations of well-known material. The book also contains reviews and notes on new publications on Northern Pontic history from Western Europe and North America.
The volume provides a good account of the manifold activities in which the staff of the Hermitage Department of the History of the Ancient World are engaged. The book is very richly illustrated, with nearly 150 photographs, line drawings, maps, etc.
