Reviews

'... Kiernan's work is an outstanding and welcome addition to fields dealing with provincial material cultures. His argument for distinguishing between idols and other sorts of cult image matters greatly if we are to study how those idols had a particular agency.' James Frakes, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
