Few regions possess so many and mainly complete Roman bridles as do the Vesuvian sites. Singular find conditions permit both comprehensive antiquarian-historian analyses of their production, functionality, and everyday use and new approaches to their typology and chronology.

The book explores the significance of that work for the generations of historians and other authors in the Hellenistic age (323-31 BC). It is the first monograph that fully treats the question of the fate of the History in the Hellenistic world.The book collects and analyses for the first time all the fragmentary evidence on Thucydides' readership from the Classical and the Hellenistic period. It includes a thorough and up-to-date synoptic introduction and extensive bibliography, setting each chapter in the context of broader scholarship from XIXth century onwards. With this book, readers shall receive a survey of manifold aspects of Thucydides in particular, and of historical writing in the Hellenistic age in general.

THE fame of the excavations at Verulamium, by St. Albans, has been widespread. They were visited by many thousands, and accounts were constantly disseminated by the lay Press, as well as by technical journals. Dr. and Mrs. Wheeler have done more than anyone else to create a great and genuine popular interest in the archaeology of Great Britain. They have proved once and for all that English people do not need the enchantment of Egyptian or Mesopotamian distance to stimulate their enthusiasm for the unearthing of the past. Under the care of the Office of Works, and, in the case of the theatre, through the generosity of Lord Verulam, the remains of important buildings on the site are now permanently open to view, and the enlightened action of the St. Albans Corporation in initiating the whole enterprise will doubtless be maintained and extended in the future. The success of the work has been a fine example of co-operation between local and national authorities, private owners, archaeologists, volunteer students, and the general public. Now the official report, worthily published by the Society of Antiquaries, is before us as the abiding record of the whole four years' campaign. It is no less an abiding reminder of the irreparable loss that we have sustained a few months since in Mrs. Wheeler's grievously premature death.
