Reviews

Houses of Ill Repute is a prime example of what can be gained by a careful study of archaeological contexts. The essays collected in the volume build on previous studies of domestic architecture by considering the evidence for structures used as Greek brothels and their urban context. -John Oakley, College of William and Mary
