Roberta Tomber is Visiting Fellow in the Department of Conservation, Documentation and Science at the British Museum. She specialises in Roman and Indian Ocean pottery and has published widely on the subject, including "The National Roman Fabric Reference Collection" (1998) with John Dore.
"The book provides a way in to literature which would be unknown to most students and even specialists of Roman archaeology and more than two-thirds of which has been published since the 1990s. The book also offers an excellent case for teaching long-distance trade studies methodology and theory." --Journal of Roman Studies 100 (2010) "The title, Indo-Roman trade, understates the scope of this book, which serves the very valuable purpose of drawing attention to the wealth of archaeological information emerging from surveys and excavations in the Red Sea, East Africa, southern Arabia, the Persian Gulf and India." --Journal of Roman Archaeology "This book is a model piece of work." --Journal of Nautical Archaeology
