Another excellent addition to @reaktionbooks Lost Civilisations series. It even sheds light on the reception of early Christianity. ‘ Scythians’ were not only nomadic warrior tribes, they were a category apart to the Greeks. Unlettered, contemptuous of money, possibly cannibals.

My #WeekendRead: @Creighton professor emeritus William O. Stephens’ new book on the life, times, thought, and legacy of Roman Emperor & aspiring Stoic Marcus Aurelius. So far, an interesting study of the challenges of reconciling the competing demands of statecraft & philosophy.
