H. E. | November 14, 1912 issue

The article focuses on the Third International Congress of Archaeology, which held its sessions in Rome during November 9-16, 1912. The enormous field covered by the science of archaeology made it necessary for the Congress to divide itself into twelve sections. In the sections on Oriental and pre-Hellenic archaeology, Sir A.J. Evans contributed a sketch of a new edition of the classification of the Minois epochs. The era of Trajan, Hadrian and the Antonines is in this way shown to have marked the highest point in building of this kind, the periods before showing a gradual improvement, and those following a gradual decadence.
