"Through his carefully constructed chronology of the praetorship,
Brennan provides a new and illuminating focal point for examining
the problems of the late Republic. His detailed discussion of the
entire Republican period helps us to understand better the changes
that were made to the system of governance. The modificiations
enabled the Romans to acquire and expand their empire, but these
changes, as Brennan makes clear, also resulted in the problems
that
brought down the Republic."--New England Classical Journal
"The list of topics is enormous, the accumulated detailed
scholarship stunning. There is no doubt that Brennan's massive
study is a necessary addition to the library of every professional
historian of Rome and will be employed by scholars as the standard
work on the praetorship for decades to come."--American Historical
Review
