not only a first - virtually no one else has tried to construct a
complete history of Georgia spanning 550 BC - AD 562 ... This
heroic, ground-breaking book is a fine tribute to the cooperation
that, almost single-handedly, Braund had brought about between the
Georgian and British academic Establishment. Braund, then, has
produced a brilliant first.'
Peter Jones, Literary Review. Dec '94
`David Braund's presentation of new Georgian archaeological
material is invaluable. ... the great virtue of the book is that
Braund looks anew at classical sources for the Caucasus. ...
Braund's analysis is the most extensive and sensible yet'
Times Literary Supplement
`This book is a standard for all the works to follow on the eastern
part of the Black Sea during 550 BC to 562CE, and acts as as
introduction to Russian and Georgian scholarship.'
Religious Studies Review
`Braund has much which is new to contribute...'
Greece and Rome Reviews 42
`written by a British scholar, who has an excellent knowledge of
the Russian and Georgian languages - an exceptionally rare
combination amongst academics outside Georgia itself'
The Classical Review
`remarkable that it should have been written by a British scholar,
who has an excellent knowledge of the Russian and Georgian
languages - an exceptionally rare combination amongst academics
outside Georgia itself ... The book is a beginning for th study of
ancient Georgia in modern English language historiography.'
Gocha R. Tsetskhladze, Royal Holloway, University of London, The
Classical Review, XLV, 2, '95
