Many of our current attitudes to the world of things are shaped by ideas forged in classical antiquity. We now understand that we do not merely do things to objects, they do things to us. Reinterpreting objects in Greece and Rome casts new light on our understanding of ourselves and turns the ancient world upside down. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The 6 volume set of the \u003ci\u003eCultural History of Objects\u003c\/i\u003e examines how objects have been created, used, interpreted and set loose in the world over the last 2500 years. Over this time, the West has developed particular attitudes to the material world, at the centre of which is the idea of the object.
