What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Very up-to-date … The index, the illustrations, the bibliography and the tables make this book an excellent reference tool.” La Croix.

“The range of recent revisions, particularly chronological, and the ever increasing amount of archaeological material demanded a new synthesis. Here it is, both lively and well written.” Le Quotidien de Paris.
