520 _aCurtis is a curator at the British Museum within which ancient Persian artifacts displayed. This book is Curtis' attempt at giving us a tour of his museum without us actually having to go to London. And he does a decent job, but it's nothing astounding. There's not much to be read within the book that can't found in more developed history books(e.g. A.T. Olmstead or even Curtis' own 'Forgotten Empire'), but the quality pictures make it nice to look through.
