Donato and Monique Siegfried. The Fragrant Past : Perfumes of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar

“Catalog of an exhibition held at the Emery Univ. Museum of Art and Archaeology, Atlanta, in 1989. The study of ancient perfume is especially rewarding when the result is a recreation of the actual fragrances worn 2,000 years ago. Dr. Monique Seefried, Curator of Near Eastern Art at the Emory Univ. Museum, has combined Prof. Donato’s research with her own study of the use of ancient perfume in Roman daily life. Contents: Experimental Archaeology; Cleopatra’s Cosmetic Workshop; Ancient Ingredients; Perfume and Spice Routes in the Ancient World; Perfume in Roman Daily Life. Beautiful, detailed full-color illustrations. Bibliography.”
