[ SOLD OUT ] BIRLEY, A.R., Marcus Aurelius. Eyre and Spottiswoode, London, n.d.(>1966). 1st ed. XIII,354p. ills. Cloth wrps. Wrps protected with adapta roll. 'This is pre-eminently an historian's book. Birley's account of military affairs, especially the northern wars, is excellent, and his up-to-date coverage of prosopographical material will make the book indispensable for historians. (...) Treatment is particularly thin on the intellectual side. For example, there is barely a word on the significance of the Second sophistic. Yet the 'Greek Renaissance' is clearly very relevant for Marcus. (...) Particularly disappointing is the treatment of Marcus' philosophical ans spiritual outlook.' (ALAN CAMERON in The Classical Review (New Series), 1967, pp.347-350). (Antiquarian) (approx. delivery time: undeliverable)
