Summary: Great overview of an underrated Ancient World Power
Review: Richard Berthold, a gem of an teacher and research/writer, deserves congratuations for a superb book--not to mention promotion to Associate Professor if he does not already have it.The hidden error which slipped by the publishers was reference to one "Testicles" in the index which is supposed to be pronounced as the Ancient Greeks would have done. Such an addition is typical of the Berthold's sense of humor and just one of the reasons he is the best prof at the University of New Mexico.

Summary: Well-written, clear narrative of Rhodian history
Review: This is not a great book, but it is an elegantly written and very readable account of the history of the Rhodian republic from its formation at the end of the 4th century BC to its absorbtion into the Roman Empire in the 2nd century BC. Sure, it's scholarly crap, but regular humans can actually read and enjoy it, especially if they skip some of the scholarly argument. Can you find the gross joke that slipped by the editors? Hint: look in the index.
