The wife replies, "Yes, go on tell me."

The wife says, "Oh, it sounds more like a nightmare."
The husband says, "No, I am sure it was a dream."
Michael Ivanovich RostovtzeffDied 20 Oct 1952 at age 81 (born 10 Nov 1870).Russian-American archaeologist and one of the 20th century's most influential authorities on ancient Greek and Roman history, particularly their economic and social aspects. In the period roughly between the two world wars Rostovtzeff came to be widely recognized as one of the leading and most original ancient historians of his time, perhaps the most outstanding. It is difficult to attempt to sum up his work because of its range. He directed the excavation of a Hellenistic city in Syria (1928-37); also wrote on art and archaeology of southern Russia. |
