Using a simple intermolecular potential we study a large number of properties of solid ${\mathrm{C}}_{60}$ in its sc and fcc phases. By establishing an equation of state for the cell parameter a(P,T) we are able to calculate the behavior of both phases as a function of temperature and pressure in a unified, consistent framework.
