mat8iou An interesting term - with a fairly clear definition & etymology. I wonder what word would describe the action if Lord Elgin hadn't done what he did? Others did similar, but in all other cases the artefacts are renowned more than the accquirer. Mar 13, 2010
bilby Certainly a concept that needed defining, though. Sep 10, 2008
vanishedone Defined by a not altogether disinterested source as 'an act of cultural vandalism'. Mar 3, 2008
