Bryn Mawr Classical Review
«This volume contains a wide range of information that has certainly set me thinking about the role of textiles in various contexts that I am not familiar with and do not normally work with. How non-specialists will use this book is an interesting question and I hope that it will stimulate archaeologists and historians working in the field of the Ancient Mediterranean who may equally be intrigued and made curious about this essential aspect of spiritual and physical life»
Bibliotheca Orientalis
«At the end of this important work, well-researched and rich in new reflections, we can only see that it deserves its place in the library of all students an /or researchers in this field, and it is highly recommended to anyone is interested in textiles and ancient religions.»
