Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-07 00:00:00 Daniel Obrien Reading Braudel has reminded me of this stunning book -- both granular in its analysis of material life, and with a narrative arc (the catastrophe of the 3rd cen. AD) that is simply stunning. Anyone interested in history or in the ancient world should read this book... even though Rostovtzeff's thesis may not be fully acceptable. (You want to make sure NOT to buy the paperback, but the hardback -- which was reprinted in a cheap rpt. edition by Oxford.... The book is in two volumes)

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-04 00:00:00 Obiel Solis Zalapa This is why there is a fascination with crime dramas. Becuase truth is WAY stranger than fiction. Pity there was mistakes all the way through the book - people had taken to editing my copy!
