Momigliano's 1949 lecture, "Ancient History and the Antiquarian", showed how historiography had been changed by the recognition that what historians had omitted could be put back by the antiquarians. This volume presents the papers from a 1991 colloquium at the Warburg Institute held in his memory.

This volume presents these papers, and borrows its title from Momigliano's original lecture.
