= Important and impressive work by Bernard de Montfaucon (1655-1741), one of the major scholars of the Congration of St. Maur (a congregation of French Benedictines, which is known for its high level of scholarship). Montfaucon is regarded as the founder of Byzantine palaeography and because of his works on ancient cultures (incl. the present work) as one of the founders of the discipline of archaeology. PMM 175, note: "His Antiquité expliquée (...) surveyed in fifteen volumes [incl. 5 supplements] the social and artistic aspects of the ancient civilizations; and (...) can well be called foundation stones of scientific archaeology." The works contains five sections: I. Les Dieux des Grecs et des Romains; II. La Culte des Grecs & des Romains (...); III. Les Usages de la vie. Les Habits, les Vases, les Monoyes, les Poids, les Mesures; des Grecs, des Romains & des autres Nations; IV. La Guerre, les Voitures, les grands Chemins, les Ponts, les Aqueducs, la Navigation; V. Les Funérailes, les Lampes, les Supplices etc. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XCVIII.
