Readable, but not in depth. Does pretty much exactly what it says on the tin.

Adequate primer on Ancient Greek and Roman societies through Hadrian, but no real insights into any beyond the rich dudes who owned it all. And what is with academics repeating phrases verbatim? Write a new notecard, man. Start here for overview, go elsewhere to dig deeper.
