N. B. Rankov, N. J. E. Austin
'Austin and Rankov have done an admirable job in filling a serious
gap in the study of Roman history: a comprehensive study of how
Roman intelligence worked.' - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
'Through the evidence of literary and epigraphic material, the
authors make this a fascinating and readable discussion of the more
shadowy parts of the Roman bureaucracy.' - Book News
'Exploratio considers six centuries of Roman military and political
intelligence, based on the literary and epigraphic evidence, with
exemplary care and in meticulous detail.' - Greece & Rome
'In an age when the humanities and Classics so often follow models
borrowed from other branches of study, it will be comforting to
note that anciant historians have produced a serious work in a
generally neglected field. ... Austin and Rankov... in spite of the
pausity of the available sources, they have succeeded in producing
an interesting, professional, and comprehensive piece of work. -
