Reception
Archaeologist Jane Draycott wrote that "Roller has succeeded in synthesizing a considerable amount of information that is not necessarily widely known or readily accessible and making it engrossing and entertaining for both specialist and non-specialist readers".[3]
Susan Walker praised the book for "[exposing] the network of relationships between these monarchies", noting that "the sources are often frustratingly thin".[4]
