`Review from previous edition a welcome addition to this
distinguished series ... the author has new insights to offer in
every chapter ... an impressive achievement, a work of great
learning and meticulous documentation yet never dull and always
readable ... Curran's excellent catalogue and discussion of the
bishop's buildings is (therefore) of special value and interest ...
excellent chapter on paganism, Christianity and the Circus
Maximus'
