Reviews

Overall, this book is well-written, clear and easy to read. ... I believe that this book adds to the dialogue about the changes in Roman law that occurred in the Principate and early Empire. The approach is thought-provoking and bears more discussion. --Elizabeth Buchanan, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
