A classicist by training, Hill built his career at the British Museum's department of coins and medals. In his forty-three years there he produced volumes on coins of antiquity; Greek history and art; coins, heraldry, and iconography of medieval and Renaissance Italy; and treasure troves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDescription\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eIn 1931 Hill became the Museum's director and principal librarian, the first archaeologist to hold this post. His four-volume History of Cyprus (1940–1952) ranged from Cyprus' earliest years to the twentieth century, and became the standard text on the subject. It is a valuable resource for scholars of the country, of antiquity and of the Mediterranean world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolume 1 describes the land of Cyprus before unravelling its history from the Stone Age to the Crusades.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDescription\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format_title\"\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"pagination\"\u003e418 pages, 3 Maps; 16 Halftones, black and white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDescription\"\u003eprint on demand.  If not in stock can be printed for you. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hellenic Bookservice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56204159254907,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/6862\/0411\/files\/9781108020626.jpg?v=1776090127","url":"https:\/\/hellenic-books.com\/products\/history-of-cyprus-volume-1-george-hill","provider":"Hellenic Bookservice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
