Viggen Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Just before lunchtime I settled down on a park bench to read a book in the warm mid-day sun. It seemed somehow appropriate that I should digest the story of the Roman conquest of the Greek city states on such a fine day. Polybius was right. The decline and defeat of one the most influential societies of all time by another isn't something to be ignored. There seriously are lessons for the modern world buried in those tales. I have to confess my knowledge of these events was somewhat lacking. All the more reason to lean back and enjoy this work... ...read the full review of Roman Conquests: Macedonia and Greece by Philip Matyszak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecimusCaesar Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Nice review, I enjoyed reading it. It's very personal and involving. I've been thinking of getting this title for a while now, along with a few others in the Roman Conquest series. I was under the impression that this one was by Ross Cowan not Maty, but I seem to have gotten mixed up with the Italy book. Anyway, a good review!

Ursus Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I'm not surprised to hear that Maty scored another success. It's not my exactly my topic of interest, but I am sure it is a fine read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artimi Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Caldrail, your review prompted me to add this my wish list. Sometimes a good overish picture is a helpful start to subject, one is just starting to explore. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
