I was just saying to myself the other day: I wish there were a book on a particular Greco-Roman fountain. And that it would be $75.

 

LOL,

 

I thought however, that this one would have interested you

Mushrooms, Myth and Mithras: The Drug Cult that Civilized Europe

We have a great list of Roman books this month it seems. I wonder if Peter Connolly's Greece and Rome at War is an updated version, or simply a reprint.

 

Apparently Amazon are only showing the older Greenhill Books edition in their preview but will be sending out the 'New Edition' from Frontline Books.

 

The only obvious difference from the cover shot is a new introduction by Adrian Goldsworthy.

 

I see that metal worker David Sim is involved in another book concerning recreating Roman Equipment 'Roman Imperial Armour: The Production of Early Imperial Military Armour' so it might be worth a look.
