Reviews

Overall the book strikes a good balance between focus and methodological approach, incorporating material, digital, and textual techniques, and moving between the early and high empire, and from Rome to the provinces ... The volume will be a nice resource for those interested in a variety of approaches to the topic, and to see how a sense of belonging to the cultural, religious, social, or political world of Rome was manifested in different areas and in different times. - Robyn L. Le Blanc, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2019
