SLATER, W.J., (ed.),
Dining in a Classical Context.
University of Michigan Press, Ann Arbor, 1998. 217,(32p). ills.(B&W photgraphs and line drawings). Nice copy.
'This collection is a useful and important complement to the Oxford Sympotica, extending its range both backwards to the earlier East and forwards to the Roman West. Vintage essays by the masters of the field, Burkert and Murray, give us sufficient theory (despite Slater's disclaimer), while the imperial period, almost totally absent in the earlier collection, is fully represented in both literary and archaeological studies, the centerpiece of which must be Dunbabin's encyclopedic study of the mosaic evidence for seating arrangements. The numerous illustrations are an important addition to the collection.' (RICHARD HAMILTON in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 02.07.07). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott.
