The presentations in this collection encompass a period that spans from Pharaonic Egypt to Byzantium and Islam, draw on sources of ancient texts, and call upon recent research in epigraphy, ethno-archaeology and gemology. The symbolic role of precious stones, their place in myth and the imagination, and the political, magical and religious uses of these gemstones are just a few of the commonalities with the people of Antiquity brought to light in the proceedings of this symposium.
