Z is for... Zeus! - Luxury and power: Persia to Greece at British Museum
Details
“I would rather discover one true cause than gain the kingdom of Persia.”- Democritus
Join us on a visit to the Luxury and Power: Persia to Greece at the British Museum in London. Drawing on dazzling objects from Afghanistan to Greece, this exhibition moves beyond the ancient Greek spin to explore a more complex story about luxury as a political tool in the Middle East and southeast Europe from 550–30 BC.
