Timothy Bruce Mitford

Discovering Rome's Eastern Frontier

On Foot Through a Vanished World

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The eastern frontier of the Roman Empire has long remained one of the great gaps in our knowledge of the ancient world, barely visited and effectively unknown -- until now. Timothy Bruce Mitford offers a richly illustrated account of half a century of academic exploration, travel, and discovery, set against a background of a disappearing world.
