It is always very good when a museum catalogue devoted to archaeological 'minor' objects is published, especially when it comes to Mediterranean antiquities on the American continent. (...) The volume has the added merit of publishing newly-acquired materials previously unknown to the academic public. (...) In conclusion, the volume under review is a useful tool for the better understanding of the collection of antiquities of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and also for insight into the current state of archaeological collecting and donations in Canada. Chiara Cecalupo, BMCR 2019.12.18.
