The NYMAS Review, Winter 2020-2021
A wide range of topics are discussed from the geography of the area, buildings and décor to deadly nightshade and portrait medallions worn by the women.Each topic is deeply detailed, informative and I'm sure the product of years of extensive research. My favorite sections were about the people of York, their dress, jewelry and funerary practices. I also very much appreciated the photos and drawings which definitely breathed life into this work.

An impressive body of meticulous scholarship, "The Roman Empire and the Silk Routes: The Ancient World Economy and the Empires of Parthia, Central Asia and Han China" is an extraordinarily informative study and one that is unreservedly recommended.

The authors take a novel approach in looking at military history of the Roman Republic in terms of the relationship between warriors and religion. The ancient world was driven to a high degree by religious belief, even to the point of commanders relying on seers to advise them on the eve of battle. – Very Highly Recommended
