Reviews

'Walking in Roman Culture is one of those rare books that turns a spotlight on to some forgotten aspect of ancient culture, and ends up making you wonder how you could ever possibly have overlooked it.' Mary Beard, The Times Literary Supplement 'O'Sullivan's book is a door-opener into a novel topic and it is innovative in several of its analyses and conclusions. The integrated use of text and material culture is highly laudable, and the fluent style makes the book a pleasure to read. This is an important contribution to the study of ancient Rome.' Ida OEstenberg, Classical Review
