This excellent book is the first systematic study of Egyptian and Egyptianizing monuments discovered in Rome and its neighbourhood (Tivoli, Ostia). The Catalogue Raisonné forms the major part of the book (55-147) in which the author gives as accurately as possible, all the scientific data of each document, namely the provenance, the present location, the dimensions, the approximate dating and an up-to-date bibliography. The description is nevertheless too brief: sometimes one can hardly imagine the representation without looking at photographs of it. Four Appendixes and two Indexes complete the volume which is largely illustrated by good photographs and reproductions of ancient drawings.
