Editorial Reviews

Review

"Riggsby, professor in classics and of art history at the University of Texas, Austin, conducts a very scholarly guided tour of how the Romans represented information (via concepts such as lists, tables, weights and measures, landscapes, and more) ― often for very limited, rather than universal, uses. The best kind of academic work, rendering the commonplace unfamiliar. The landscape examples dazzle." -- Harvard Magazine

"Throughout this tome [Riggsby] is meticulous in discussing the views of other scholars and in providing evidence for his own theories. It is a work of specialised scholarship, rather than aimed at the general reader." -- Marion Gibbs, Classics for All
