Recenzje

"Rome and China is that rare book that actually fills a significant gap in scholarship. Recently, books comparing aspects of Roman and Chinese civilization have proliferated, but a comprehensive study of relations between Rome and China has been lacking until now. In four lucidly written chapters, the authors trace contact between Eastern and Western Eurasia from the second century BCE to the seventh century CE... Recommended." - CHOICE
