Excited to have this study of the Hellenistic sculpture from the Villa of Herodes Atticus published in the JRA. Ft Homeric heroes, an eccentric billionaire, a few murders & a special eagle helmet, this is not classical sculpture for the faint-hearted! Available open access: doi.org/10.1017/S104...

Marble from the island of Naxos was used for some of the most beautiful monuments from the ancient Greek world–but how were huge blocks like these quarried 2,500 years ago?
