The Dacian Stones Speak

by Paul MacKendrick

With this exciting introduction to the ancient province of Dacia, noted classicist and archaeologist MacKendrick turns his attention to an old area little known to the English-speaking world. He examines its history from the Neolithic culture to the 165 years of urban culture under Roman rule. Also examined is the durability of the Greco-Roman heritage that is reflected in the religious and cultural orientation of present-day Romania.

[Sineala · Rating 4 out of 5]

There doesn't seem to be much written in English about Dacia -- I'm not actually a classicist, but this is the only thing I've found, well, while combing the shelves of my local used bookstores. I also don't know much about Dacia so I can't actually judge the quality of the analysis, but it was an enjoyable read and I appreciated the photographs and diagrams. The chapter about Trajan's column was particularly illuminating.

As putea spune o carte de popularizare dar cu anumite informatii si adevaruri istorice demne de luat inseama.
