Reviews

"This is a book of major importance: well written and readable, but also dense and difficult, controversial . . . and in the main very persuasive."
-Judith Evan Grubbs, Sweet Briar College, American Historical Review, October 2002
"The plethora of useful information included in the book will make it an invaluable tool for specialists and students alike."
-Constantina Katsari, University of Exeter, Bryn Mawr Classical Review, July, 2002
