Socrates in the Agora
ISBN: 9780876616178 / Angielski / Miękka / 1978 / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. As far as we know, the 5th-century B.C.

Graffiti in the Athenian Agora
ISBN: 9780876616338 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Some are marks of ownership, or the notes of merchants, but many are sexual innuendos, often accompanied by graphic illustrations. Using her wide contextual knowledge, the author suggests why these scraps of sentences were written, and what they can tell us about one of the first widely literate societies.
