5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for teachers of classics and history, July 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Costumes of the Greeks and Romans (Dover Fashion and Costumes) (Paperback)

The book contains a huge variety of classical drawings which teachers and students can use for fun and enlightenment. Any of the illustrations can be copied on reports, projects, tests or quizzes. They can be enlarged too. You can get a great deal of use from this inexpensive treasure.

3.0 out of 5 stars not bad but could be better, November 10, 2006

I. Yeginsu (Istanbul) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Costumes of the Greeks and Romans (Dover Fashion and Costumes) (Paperback)

The language is a bit weird, like that of the 18th or 19th century European travellers. The information is sufficient but is not as academic as one would expect, if you are looking for a scholarly source.
However, the visual part (pictures, figures) is very extensive and helpful.
