A Handbook of Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Archaeology is a comprehensive guidebook written by Hodder M. Westropp. This book covers the archaeology of four ancient civilizations: Egypt, Greece, Etruria (modern-day Tuscany), and Rome. It provides a detailed account of the art, architecture, religion, and daily life of these civilizations. The book is divided into several parts, each focusing on a particular aspect of the archaeology of these civilizations. The first part covers the archaeology of Egypt, including the pyramids, temples, and tombs. The second part covers the archaeology of Greece, including the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and the Olympic games. The third part covers the archaeology of Etruria, including the necropolis, the tombs, and the art. The final part covers the archaeology of Rome, including the Colosseum, the Forum, and the Pantheon. This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the archaeology of these ancient civilizations and provides a comprehensive overview of their history, culture, and achievements.1878. Visiting the ancient countries of Egypt, Greece and Italy being the chief object of traveling at the present day, the consequent interest taken in the remains of the former grandeur, magnificence, and high civilization of these countries, has made archeology one of the most important and most interesting studies. Egypt, Greece and Italy were the fountainheads of our civilization and the sources of our knowledge; to them we can trace, link by link, the origin of all that is ornamental, graceful and beautiful in our architecture, sculpture and in the arts of design.
