Die Insel Ägina mit ihrem gleichnamigen Hauptort war in der spätarchaischen und klassischen Periode ein wichtiges Zentrum in der zentralen Ägäis. Die Bedeutung und der Wohlstand Äginas resultierten aus der intensiven Handelstätigkeit seiner Flotte mit weit reichenden Verbindungen über den Saronischen Golf hinaus bis in das Schwarzmeergebiet, nach Nordafrika und Italien. Der vorliegende Band untersucht Keramik aus klassischen Kontexten im Gebiet des "Kolonna-Hügels", der Akropolis der antiken Inselhauptstadt. Diese Kontexte enthalten neben einer Reihe von Importen, darunter solche aus Attika, Korinth, Lakonien, Ostgriechenland und der nördlichen Ägäis, auch zahlreiche Gefässe lokaler Herkunft. Also part of series: Contributions to the Chronology of the Eastern Mediterranean; 30 / Ägina Kolonna, Forschungen und Ergebnisse; 6.0.

The controversial removal of the Parthenon sculptures from Greece to England in the first decade of the nineteenth century by Thomas Bruce, seventh Earl of Elgin, sparked an international competition for classical antiquities. This volume tells a lesser-known chapter of that story, concerning sculptures from the Temple of Aphaia on the Greek island of Aegina. Discovered in 1811 as the Parthenon project was nearing its completion, these ancient sculptures were acquired at auction by Johann Martin Wagner (1777–1858) on behalf of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria. The sculptures turned out to be significant in a number of ways, offering important evidence for a transitional period of Greek art between the archaic and classical eras, for the existence of an independent Aeginetan school that was the equal of Athenian art at the time, and for Greek sculptures having been elaborately painted and adorned.Originally published in 1817 and presented here for the first time in English, this book reproduces the report commissioned by the crown prince that was written by Wagner and edited by F. W. J. Schelling and contained richly detailed descriptions of the sculptures. In addition, Louis A. Ruprecht Jr. provides a comprehensive historical introduction featuring a constellation of intellectual figures, an afterword, notes, appendices, and more than forty images to tell the fascinating story of the sculptures and their legacy from excavation to the present day.
