Reviews
"magnificent publication" -- Times Literary Supplement

"By any definition, this two-volume set is a magnum opus, a veritable treasure trove of information about the eastern limes of the Roman Empire...Mitford deserves huge praise for his selfless and endless devotion to a task that he set himself back in 1962" -- C S. Lightfoot, Metropolitan Museum, New York, Journal of Roman Archaeology

"[A] gripping but discreetly understated account . . . Mitford's lifetime of exploration, presented with extraordinary generosity between the covers of this Jahrhundertbuch, has produced as full a record as we are ever likely to possess of the remains of this hidden frontier, but still leaves questions about its nature and purpose open to further debate." -- JRS

"The workmanship is as intricate and careful as that of a watchmaker ... The two volumes of East of Asia Minor are beautifully produced ... The reviewer is dumbfounded at the amount of material gathered and the lucidity with which it is presented." -- James Howard-Johnston, Pelican Record

"[A] detailed encyclopedic and highly referenced two-volume work documenting regional climate, geography, history, trade routes, inscriptions, and numismatics (c. 130 BCE-CE 677) [...] Research on this scale sets new standards of academic scholarship unlikely to be surpassed. Summing Up: Essential." -- C. C. Kolb, independent scholar, CHOICE

Dr Mitford was awarded a British Academy Medal for East of Asia Minor (2018).
