""This [is] an exceptional book, the product of vast reading combined with high scholarship—and . . . readability. It would be an impertinence for the reviewer (whose knowledge of Maecenas has been immeasurably widened by Emily Gowers) merely to recommend it: it deserves to be bought widely throughout the respublica litterarum.""---Colin Leach, Classics for All ""The most in-depth study ever published on the mercurial figure at the heart of power in the early years of the Roman Empire. . . . Gowers brings the richness of all this alive for the reader, in a book that Maecenas himself would have welcomed into his library.""---Cliff Cunningham, Sun News Austin
