More quotes by Michael Rostovtzeff
For me archaeology is not a source of illustrations for written texts, but an independent source of historical information, with no less value and importance, sometimes more importance, that the written sources.
Michael Rostovtzeff
We must learn, and we are gradually learning, how to write history with the help of archaeology.
Michael Rostovtzeff
