[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 4358389, member: 5066"]Yes, I hear you! Pillar & Scroll aptly describes Late Classical. I am not sure how this "empire" thing got started for late classical, perhaps sellers were trying to "juice" their sales descriptions (related, close enough!) or maybe it was just an honest mistake. Collectors of Empire know the difference, that's for sure. I notice most of the major auction houses in the USA have changed over the past few years to the generic "Classical" in their descriptions of late Classical. Perhaps lawyers had something to do with that. :)[/QUOTE]
