Antiquities from Ancient Greece
The art and craftsmanship of Ancient Greece did not only have a crucial influence on the (emerging) Etruscan and Roman societies, but continues to influence us even today, millennia later. The online shop of the Alte Roemer Gallery offers you a fine selection of authentic ancient Greek art and antiquities. Although we mainly focus on Greek vases and other ancient Greek pottery, authentic Greek bronzes and figurines as well as Greek numismatics, you will also find a variety of other artifacts from Ancient Greece. It would be our pleasure to work with you individually on your personal collection, and help you find special pieces that you would like to add to it. Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time via email or using our contact form. Correspondence is welcome in English, German, Italian, French, Russian or Japanese.-
