### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Expensive, but Comprehensive
  

*by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2009*

This book is expensive, but it represents the state-of-the-art in Roman technical studies. It does not necessarily supplant older works, such as KD White's 'Greek and Roman Technology' or Brown and Strong's 'Roman Crafts' but it certainly casts them in a different light - especially with the new information regarding Roman industrial capability, and new outlooks on classical attitudes towards technology. The various contributors are well respected in their fields, and the massive amounts of citation will keep you busy for months on any particular subject.Although it is very comprehensive, it does not cover every aspect of classical technology, and I would HIGHLY recommend you pick up Humphrey, Oleson, and Sherwood's 'Greek and Roman Technology: A Sourcebook' as a companion. Also, keep in mind that this book does not deal with specific nuts and bolts of technologies: you will not find discussions of how much a Roman wagon weighed, efficiencies of harness techniques, mining yields, and other such data points.If you have an interest in technology and industry in the classical world and want a book you can crack open to any page and go "Wow, I didn't know that!", get this.

    Excellent Book on the Classical World technological feats
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2013*

This book covers most of the inventions of Classical world used to extract from the world's resources to fulfill the needs of their societies. It shows that man prior to the industrial revolution was just as smart in the classical world as he is today. These inventions and methods are the underlying foundations of today's technological advancements.
