Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"In sum, this book is a valuable addition to the history of scholarship on Athenian public architecture in the second half of the 5th century. The study's scope and detail are impressive. Trophies of Victory will no doubt serve as a vital resource because of its thorough examination in a single volume of a wide array of varied evidence related to these very well-known structures."---Wendy E. Closterman, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
