Out of Print
The Corpus Speculorum Etruscorum is an international project with the objective of publishing all known information about Etruscan mirrors. The Cambridge volume is the first British fascicle to appear. It provides a detailed account of the ancient Etruscan bronze mirrors in the collections of Cambridge University: those of the Lewis Collection of Corpus Christi College, of the Fitzwilliam Museum itself, and of the Museums of Archaeology and Anthropology and of Classical Archaeology. Each mirror is illustrated with actual-size photographs and facsimile drawings.
