not bad but could be better,
By I. Yeginsu - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Costumes of the Greeks and Romans (Paperback)
The language is a bit weird, like that of the 18th or 19th century European travellers. The information is sufficient but is not as academic as one would expect, if you are looking for a scholarly source.However, the visual part (pictures, figures) is very extensive and helpful. |
