Michael Peachin is Professor of Classics, New York University
"The Oxford Handbook of Social Relations in the Roman World is a
valuable guide to many directions in contemporary research, and
both editor and authors are to be congratulated for providing an
essential resource." --Classical Journal
"These are all wonderful essays that make the book a very rewarding
read. This is a superb volume: both the editor and the contributors
have to be congratulated for producing it!" --Bryn Mawr Classical
Review
"Peachin introduces and edits an exemplary contribution to the
current academic genre of handbooks/companions to topics/authors.
Thirty-five internationally known scholars of Roman History
contribute significant studies on a wide range of topics not well
discussed in standard compendia on Roman literature and history.
All students of Roman society, from undergraduate to scholars, will
profitably and enjoyably read everything in this handbook.
Highly
Recommended." --CHOICE
