  • Circa - A Latin term meaning 'about', often used in the antique trade to give an approximate date for the piece, usually considered to be five years on either side of the circa year. Thus, circa 1900 means the piece was made about 1900, probably between 1895 and 1905. The expression is sometimes abbreviated to c.1900.
  • Hellenistic - The Hellenistic period is a period in ancient Greek history

    that began after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE and lasted until

    the Roman conquest of Greece in 146 BCE. It is named after the Greek word

    "Hellenistic," which means "to imitate Greeks."



    During the Hellenistic period, the Greek world expanded

    beyond the boundaries of Greece and encompassed the territories conquered by

    Alexander the Great, including Egypt, Persia, and parts of India. The period

    was marked by a fusion of Greek culture with the cultures of these conquered

    territories, resulting in a diverse and cosmopolitan society.



    The art and architecture of the Hellenistic period were

    marked by a new sense of realism and individuality. Artists and architects

    experimented with new techniques and styles, and the incorporation of new

    materials such as bronze and glass. A number of the best-known works of Greek sculpture belong to this period, including Laocoon and his Sons, Venus de Milo, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace.
