Students review,
This review is from: Malaria and Rome: A History of Malaria in Ancient Italy (Hardcover)
As a classic's student and one who studies the subject area of diseases in the ancient world and their impact on the lower classes, I've read most of the works in English on the subject. This book is by far the most extensive treatment of Malaria and it's impact on Romans on the Italian Peninsula. When I first read the book I was unfamiliar with the details and the book illustrated all those points very well. The author is also responsible for identifying the earliest recorded cases of Malaria on the peninsula using DNA extraction.

This review is from: Malaria and Rome: A History of Malaria in Ancient Italy (Hardcover)
For people who are researching disease in the ancient world, this book is a treasure trove of information. The bibliography alone is worth finding this book. It's well written and presented in a manner that's not going to completely overwhelm people. With it's combination of ancient, historical, and modern findings, Malaria and Rome is a comprehensive review of the topic.
