Recenzje

'Lively, well-written accounts of individual monuments include examples that deserve to be better known, such as the fountain in the Terrace of Domitian, or Sagalassos' newly reconstructed nymphaeum of Tiberius Claudius Piso. The bibliography on fountain architecture and art is thorough and up-to-date.' American Journal of Archaeology
