Reviews
Rollason has produced a highly informative and readable book on the reality and literary representation of gifts of elite male clothing during the period from the fourth into the sixth century AD. It is a welcome addition to the bibliography on gift-giving and the symbolic use of clothing during this period, and will serve as an excellent starting point for any further studies of specific examples of such. - David Woods, University College Cork, Ireland, in the Bryn Mawr Classical Review Rollason's work is an important contribution to the maturing discipline of setting ancient dress-studies within a wider methodological interface. - Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, Cardiff University, UK It holds much that is of interest to students of late antique literature and society as well as those interested in the history of clothing more in general. - Maurits Sterk de Leeuw, Tubingen
