    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Rome and China provides an updated history and analysis of contacts and mutual influence between two of ancient Eurasia?s most prominent imperial powers, Rome and China.



    It highlights the extraordinary interconnectivity of ancient Eurasia which allowed for actual contacts between Rome and China (however fleeting) and examines in detail the influences from both ends of Eurasia which had cultural and political consequences for both Rome and China.



    This volume will be of interest to anyone working on the Roman Empire, Inner Asia, the Silk Routes and China in the Classical and Late Antique periods.



    "Rome and China is that rare book that actually fills a significant gap in scholarship. Recently, books comparing aspects of Roman and Chinese civilization have proliferated, but a comprehensive study of relations between Rome and China has been lacking until now. In four lucidly written chapters, the authors trace contact between Eastern and Western Eurasia from the second century BCE to the seventh century CE... Recommended." - CHOICE
