A book I received today:
Dr Susan Stewart- Cosmetics and Perfumes in the Roman World- (Tempus 2007)
I only got the book 2 hours ago and already it has filled a lot of blanks and given me some fantastic guidance regarding my current work. This book is beautifully written and well researched. The author has gone to great lengths to describe the cosmetics and oils in great detail, and there is constant valuable cross reference to ancient text- which has saved me an awful lot of trawling through all of Ovid's work :wink:
- although I have also picked out a couple of errors regarding the chemical composition of a few listed mineral pigments- oops! :?
