Simone Mehr, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 'This is a fantastic book that offers the reader an easy and yet detailed and erudite overview of the subtle chains of policy, obligation, and ambition that bound Themistius to Valens and Valens to Themistius... For anyone with an interest in Themistius, in Valens, or in the East Roman Empire in the mid fourth century, it is a must read.' Adrastos Omissi, Plekos
