Art as Plunder c. 70 BC

Eminent Cambridge classicist Mary Beard has written a review about a new book that explores how the ancient Romans viewed collecting and looting. See http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/the_tls/article6855177.ece
The book sounds like a good read that promises to offer some interesting historical context to the current debate about identical issues.
