Note 22 — THE ART OF CASTING IN PLASTER AMONG THE ANCIENT GREEKS AND ROMANS.
Reading edition
As Lysistratus and his brother lived about the 114th Olympiad (324 B. C.), if these works found at Kertch were plaster casts, it is plain that Lysistratus did not invent casting, since these were before his time; and if Pliny means to say that he did, he is evidently quite wrong.
