"Thomsen's book performs two admirable tasks. First, citing his exceptional knowledge of Hellenistic Rhodes' rich but under-explored inscriptional inheritance, he lucidly expounds the complex web of institutions and public and private associations that it reveals. Secondly, by showing how a 'magisterial elite' manipulated that web in pursuit of office, power, and priesthoods, he contributes substantially to political sociology.-- ""Professor John K. Davies, University of Liverpool"""
