Reviews

`Review from previous edition Gradel's work is eminently readable ... He impressively handles a wide range of evidence, deftly analyzing epigraphic, numismatic and archaeological data alongside literary testimonia.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review `Most impressive (and refreshing) is Gradel's ability to identify the biases and suppositions of prior scholarship and to pose alternate questions and practical answers based not on assumptions about beliefs (ancient and modern), but on Roman social and religious practices.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review
