"Without doubt, this collection of papers is a success and its
editors as well as those of the series are to be commended. [...]
Lo Cascio and Tacoma have curated a fine collection of papers
painting a remarkable picture of human movement in the Roman
world." - Eric E. Poehler, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"En conclusion, les éditeurs de ce volume offrent au lecteur de
précieuses mises au point sur le thème de la mobilité, processus
dynamique et multiforme, selon des angles d’approche certes
distincts, mais qui enrichissent les débats et ouvrent de
nombreuses perspectives. En effet, la lecture des travaux récents
sur le thème de la mobilité édités ou rédigés par L. E. Tacoma,
pour ne citer que cet exemple, permet de voir l’évolution des
réponses aux interrogations suscitées par cette thématique et
l’apparition de nouveaux questionnements entre chaque publication.
Toute la richesse de cet ouvrage, dont la lecture est stimulante à
plus d’un titre, est d’ouvrir des champs de recherche novateurs
pour une problématique sous les feux de l’actualité." - Anthony
Álvarez Melero, in: L'Antiquité Classique 89, 2020
