Review Quotes
Laurent Chrzanovski, Department of Roman Archaeology, Université Lyon II Lumière
“Frecer’s book constitutes, in many aspects, a pioneer research, which will, in our opinion, become a ‘milestone book’ for every scholar desiring to approach a corpus of lamps from a well-defined site in its full richness”
Florin Topoleanu, vice president of the Romanian National Archaeological Commission
“By its scientific value, [the work] will certainly become a benchmark for specialists.”
