This book examines the ancient origins of debate about art as cultural property. It focuses on the theft of art in Greek Sicily, Verres' trial, Roman collectors of art, and the later impact of Cicero's arguments, concluding with the British decision after Waterloo to repatriate Napoleon's stolen art to Italy.
