Review # 1 was written on 2012-01-12 00:00:00 Marian Riley Jenkins is a curator in the British Museum for Greek architecture and sculpture. In this book he describes in depth several Greeks temples. Quite a bit is done on the temples and sculpture of the Acropolis: the Parthenon, the Nike-temple and the Erechtheum. Part of his studies concentrate on the so called Elgin marbles; the reliefs of the Parthenon Frieze which were bought from the Ottoman Empire by Lord Elgin. The other monuments are: the temple of Artemis and the mausoleum of Halicarnassus. Good background information.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-08-28 00:00:00 Daniel Cipriani A very good historical and architectural book, covering the material about the remains of the ancient Greek monuments, exhibited at the British museum. The only thing that prevents me from giving five stars to this source is a chapter on the Greek Mausoleum. The language is easy to understand, and the book is very fascinating. Well done, Jan Jenkins!
