Reviews

'This academic but engagingly written volume covers over 5,500 years of human activity on Malta from the arrival of Neolithic temple-builders to the followers of Mithras, a cult popular with Roman soldiers ... though aimed at the scholar rather than the traveller, the comprehensive gazetteer of sites will prove useful for both.'
