More quotes by Michael Rostovtzeff
For long, history was mainly political history, and historical narrative was confined to an account of the most important crises in political life, or to an account of wars and great generals.
Michael Rostovtzeff
We must learn, and we are gradually learning, how to write history with the help of archaeology.
Michael Rostovtzeff
