The ‘commemoration’ that Sears has mostly in mind is ancient, and largely confined to the Archaic and Classical periods (c.700-300 BC in round figures). His use or interpretation of ‘commemoration’ is, however, somewhat unsettlingly expansive. This is not just a study of the ancient equivalents of the Whitehall Cenotaph, shall we say, though there is a good deal of that, usually well done.
