Each chapter in this volume is a valuable contribution to ancient
dress (especially those concerning the Near East and Turkey,
subjects not often found in books on 'ancient' dress) and a helpful
compendium on fascinating new directions in studies on ancient
clothing and adornment. . . . I would count it essential reading
for every scholar of costume in antiquity. --Kelly Olson, The
University of Western Ontario, Bryn Mawr Classical Review,
