RIGGSBY, A. M.,
Mosaics of Knowledge. Representing Information in the Roman World.
Oxford University Press, 2023. 272p. Paperback. Series: CLASSICAL CULTURE AND SOCIETY SERIES. 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 (Publisher's information).
