Recenzii

The Scythians, superbly written and lavishly illustrated, is the best account of these hard-riding nomads we are likely to have for a long time to come. Especially worthy of note are the excellent maps and diagrams, expertly placed to help the reader chart the wanderings of the Scythians in some of the world's most remote locations.
A scintillating tour de force from probably the greatest scholar of European archaeology.
Cunliffe writes in an uncluttered style and with a seemingly effortless authority about a complex people ... The book is beautifully produced with plenty of colour illustrations, including excellent maps of unfamiliar places. It will surely become the standard introduction to a remarkable lost world.
Not to be missed.
Cunliffe masterfully blends archaeology, anthropology, and visual and written evidence with dazzling images, delightful stories, and clear writing.
Sir Barry Cunliffe's monograph is important both for readers interested in little-known pages of the history of the ancient world and for specialists. Researchers of Eurasian steppe cultures of the 1st millennium BC would be additionally attracted to the book by the possibility of further discussion that it invites-which can help to produce significant results.
