Editorial Reviews

. . . .Fascinating, informative, scholarly, "reader friendly", and very highly recommended study.
The Midwest Book Review

"This volume continues to belong to the standard literature and is for an approximation of great help to the socio-cultural conditions in Corinth, even if above all, the relevance of the Anaploga villa is discussed very critically."
