Following the trail of the Phoenicians from the Levant to the Atlantic coast of Iberia, Carolina López-Ruiz o’ers the first comprehensive study of the cultural exchange that transformed the Mediterranean in the eighth and seventh centuries BC. Greeks, Etruscans, Sardinians, Iberians, and others adopted a Levantine-inflected way of life, as they aspired to emulate Near Eastern civilizations. López-Ruiz explores these many inheritances, from sphinxes and hieratic statues to ivories, metalwork, volute capitals, inscriptions, and Ashtart iconography.

Siguiendo el rastro de los fenicios desde el Levante hasta la costa atlántica de Iberia, Carolina López-Ruiz ofrece el primer estudio exhaustivo del intercambio cultural que transformó el Mediterráneo en los siglos VIII y VII a.C.. Griegos, etruscos, sardos e iberos, entre otros, adoptaron un modo de vida de influencia levantina, mientras aspiraban a emular las civilizaciones del Próximo Oriente. López-Ruiz explora estas numerosas herencias, desde las esfinges y las estatuas hieráticas hasta los marfiles, la metalistería, los capiteles de voluta, las inscripciones y la iconografía de Ashtart.
