Reviews

[This volume] combines the study of two discrete historical periods and cultures - ancient Greece and early Christian Rome - and will be of interest to scholars seeking to appreciate better the connections often drawn between virgins and brides in the context of the ancient world ... an engaging monograph. - Peta Greenfield, The Classical Review
