Reviews

This interesting book of essays (with a useful introduction by the editor) examines both perceived flaws in Roman life and also the flawed ways in which this flawed past has been received...The book is well illustrated with nine monochrome plates and there is a general index as well as a bibliography. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
