Table of ContentsReviews'Greek and Roman Technology' is one of my favourite sourcebooks, as it covers so much material and has reliable, clear translations. As the authors rightly point out, there have been several advances in the field in recent years, and a new edition is welcome. The addition of line drawings and the new section on technologies of the life cycle (not called like this by the authors, but that is how I think of that chapter) are particularly welcome. - Laurence Totelin, Cardiff University In my opinion, this manuscript should be most definitely updated and revised! Our understanding of ancient technology is best obtained from the testimony of those who lived with and experienced it first-hand. Therefore listening to the ancient voices express their opinions, reactions, descriptions, and musings regarding their own technology is extremely important to the modern student and scholar. The proposed expanded commentary, bibliographical citations, additional line drawings, new units, and incorporation of newly acquired data since the earlier addition will make this a valuable resource for study of ancient technology. - Jill Baker, Cardiff University I have thought since the first edition of this book that the authors deserve high praise for compiling such a useful compendium... The second edition of the book deserves as much gratitude; it has more illustrations, more texts, and an updated bibliography. This book is thoughtful, useful, and compiled with skill. - Bryn Mawr Classical Review Author InformationAndrew N.
