Rezension zu „The Roman World “
"The great virtue of Cherry's book is that the [chapter] selections are long enough to give the reader a feel not only for the topic at hand but also for the Roman way of thinking. The volume, in all, presents an excellent starting point for the study of Rome and the Romans." Jeanne Neumann O'Neill, Davidson College "This collection will be of much use to students and to those wanting a rapid insight into Greco-Roman civilisation." Daedalus
