Recensioner i media

"...certainly merits to be considered as a textbook for notably undergraduate students of the subject. To its value adds the fact that it is well written, well produced, that it provides...a concise guide for further reading..., an elaborate "index locorum", and an efficient and comprehensive general index. In providing these assets, the book...offers an excellent value for its price." - Classical Journal
