I'm a classics student and all in all it is worth reading if you're interested in enlightenment understandings of the 'classical world' and its perception. Reception studies, which is the study of how the ancient world, which remains deliberately vaguely defined, was/is conceptualised, is a blossoming realm in classics so if you're a history student it is probably worth reading. As a text actually regarding the history of the ancient world its conclusions are quite off the mark and uses sources that have been proven to be forgeries.
