This book is so dry you need to moisturise after each chapter. I only kept going because it is on the booklist I am working through. Thoroughly boring, written in an achingly academic style, with lots of guesswork and long bows drawn. Screeds of information on coins, broken pottery, and archeological digs of some poor sod’s house.

Don’t bother.

Boring. This is a fine example of why I didn't like history in high school. It's just a bunch of unfamiliar names of people and places and battles without any context.
