Recenzii

"[T]his good book first and foremost reinforces the position of the topic in question in ancient studies; in addition it opens interesting perspectives for future research in this field, for the method promoted by the editors is undoubtedly a good way to enhance our knowledge of the relationship between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean in antiquity." - Pierre Schneider, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2016.02.27
"The volume is an important contribution to the study of Indo-Mediterranean exchange in antiquity, and, at the same time, it opens new and promising perspectives by successfully promoting comparative studies in this important fi eld of historical research." - Michael A. Speidel, in: Marburger Beiträge Zur Antiken Handels, Wirtschafts und Sozialgeschichte
