Reviews

`M. has done a valuable service in making the remains of Sallust's masterpiece more accessible ... the translation is clear and generally reliable and the notes helpfully elucidate the historical contexts of the fragments. A welcome new feature is the inclusion of a concordance and cross-references to Maurenbrecher's numeration.'
