sonic Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Interesting. Viggen's already got me reviewing 'Between Empires: Arabs, Romans, and Sasanians in Late Antiquity'. I wonder what else he's got in mind .... Maybe:'Religious Identity in Late Antiquity: Greeks, Jews and Christians in Antioch', or 'Britain After Rome: The Fall and Rise, 400 - 1070', or 'Slavery in the Late Roman World, AD 275-425'. He might even be thinking, 'Roman Barbarians: The Royal Court and Culture in the Early Medieval West'. Not that I'm getting typecast or anything ... Mind you, he knows which book I'd really want - and it's not even on the list! Edited June 3, 2011 by sonic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Such specialized topics .... I think I'll skip this round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I got really lucky last time around and a few of the current crop look interesting - I did wonder about the Peasants and Slaves book for myself and just from the title the Agricola book may also be interesting.

Klingan Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I (kind of) know the Author of Greek City Walls of the Archaic Period, 900-480 BC. He's very proud of that book and very eager to advertise it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 At that price he probably has to but I must admit it does look interesting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Seriously, is it just me, or are Roman books getting more specialized all the time? It's like so much study has been done in the past few decades that for someone to get noticed they have to turn to increasingly arcane topics. And as a lot of these specialized books are rather expensive, it puzzles me how anyone but a major university would buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
