La natura dei contributi, sia per quanto riguarda l oggetto di indagine che per la prospettiva adottata, comporta che l opera nel suo insieme manchi di omogeneita, cosa che, tuttavia, nel volume in questione non costituisce una pecca. Al contrario, la ricchezza di considerazioni e spunti che le diverse prospettive e casi studio offrono e amplissima e stimolante. The nature of the contributions [ ] means that the work as a whole lacks uniformity, but this is not a flaw in this volume. On the contrary, the wealth of ideas and considerations that the different perspectives and case studies offer is vast and challenging.--Lorenzo Verderame, Sapienza Universita di Roma Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2016.05.49
