Reviews

'... the contributions are first-rate essays, sure to benefit any student who reads them ... Overall, this is a worthwhile collection.' J. A. S. Evans, Choice 'Without a doubt, each study in this volume presents a piece of fine scholarship in itself, even though some certainly carry more weight or offer more food for thought than the others. In that regard, this is a welcome collection.' Hrvoje Gracanin, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
