Reviews

“This is a very thorough account – archaeological, representational, epigraphical – of the types and decoration of dress used in Greek ritual and worship, by gods and mortals… Scholars will also find the wealth of illustration here (all colour): a valuable source for dress types and patterning, furniture and trappings, outside the world of religion.” * Ancient West & East *
