This magazine series is worth every penny! from it's extremely high quality paper & beautiful photographs to it's very well researched & fascinating articles. I had bought a few different history magazines over the years before Ancient History including All About History & BBC History, and none of them hold a candle to this. Great stuff.

In general I have Not Found the articles interesting, or if interesting, scantily covered. The photographs are usually suberb, but the illustrations are cliche'd,inept and the style almost comically antique, reminicent of the 1950s. This is why I will not renew my subscription.

I don't have any constructive criticism other than what I've already mentioned. I generally enjoy your magazine and believe the scholarship to be exceptional.

I especially liked the article by Edward Herring and also the one by Kathryn Lomas. But all the contributions are as always very enjoyable and informative.
I hope that the centerfolds will be an enduring feature, particularly the layouts of cities like Troy and Paestum. They are so instructive!

Very interesting subject matter on Magna Graeca. This topic is rarely addressed. Once again, Ancient History presents a superlative article. I also enjoyed the article on the gladiators.

As I mentioned in my review of Ancient Warfare. Ancient History should do an issue dedicated to the Greek and Roman mummy portraits of the Fayum.

The magazine arrived in very good condition. The articles look interesting, as usual, but I haven't read this issue as yet.

I realize that you are a commercial publication that is aimed at a targeted audience and in that group are a wide spectrum of interests I don't expect to love every article . I am happy to subscribe and support such a wonderful group of magazines.
