Richly ills.(B&W as well as full colour photographs and line drawings). Imitation leather bound with dust wrps. Dust wrps slightly damaged to lower edge. Series: Geschichte der Wasserversorgung, Band 3. Nice copy. ‘This volume is devoted especially to the water systems, both civil and military, in the northern provinces of the Roman Empire; but it contains also thematic essays on baths, building techniques, and hygiene. In what is called a ‘Bildanhang’ examples of an even wider variety of water systems in Europe and N. Africa are also succinctly described, and depicted, in alphabetical order from Aix-en-Provence to Segovia. Whatever the interest of the essays, it is this mass of information which gives the volume unique value. The whole production (…) is of exemplary standard. Highly professional and scholarly though it is, the aim has been to make the astonishing achievements of antiquity in the management of water understandable, and accessible to the interested layman.’ (G.E. RICKMAN in The Classical Review (New Series), 1989, p.416). € 20.00 (Antiquarian)

Richly ills.(B&W as well as full colour photographs and line drawings). Imitation leather bound with dust wrps. Series: Geschichte der Wasserversorgung, Band 2. Nice copy. ‘The Frontanus-Gesellschaft is a group composed for the most part of West German engineers and other professionals in the fields of hydraulic technology or pipelines who are interested in the technology of ancient water-supply systems. The organisation was founded to foster research and publication in the history of hydraulic technology, pipelines, and sources of energy. (…) ‘Geschichte der Wasserversorgung’ has focused so far on the Graeco-Roman world. The purpose of the series is the publication of technical information on the discovery, transport, storage, and division of water in antiquity, in a form accessible to the general reader but technically and historically correct. In this the organisation and the authors have succeeded admirably. (…) The volume presents in a clear and reliable form examples of some important monuments, and analyses of portions of the literary and inscriptional evidence and of social function. (…) Volumes such as this one fill in major gaps in the literature on the topic and lay the groundwork for the final synthesis.’ (JOHN P. OLESON in American Journal of Archaeology, 1989, pp.307-308). With contributions by G. GARBRECHT, W. ECK, Fr. GLASER and H. FAHLBUSCH). € 25.00 (Antiquarian)

'By examining systematically the exits and entrances in Menander's comedies F. has been able to work out the comic poet's code of practices and conventions, which may then be used to explain individual passages and at times to resolve difficult problems of interpretation. (...). F. opens with a chapter which discusses some general conventions (the three-actor rule, use of mutes) and categorises types of entry and exit in ten plays (...). Intelligent, sensitive and well-argued discussions abound (...) and there are some attractive insights.' (W. GEOFFREY ARNOTT in The Classical Review (New Series), 1989, p.385-86).
