This book is a companion volume to K. D. White's Agricultural
Implements of the Roman World (Cambridge University Press, 1967).
He deals here with equipment and instruments which were for the
most part used in processing and storage as opposed to cultivation.
Each item is described in detail and there are abundant references
to sources, literary and archaeological. The volume is amply
illustrated. As before, Professor White has unearthed a wealth of
information of special value to archaeologists, lexicographers and
historians of technology. His discussions of the use made of the
articles catalogued have a broader human interest and throw
illuminating sidelights on the social and economic life of the
Roman world.
