Su questo libro

Recensione:

"This book, which will be many things to many readers, will be valuable as a modern source and as a reference work vital in what is the ever increasing complex world of ancient historical research." ( Scholia Reviews, 2009)

"Students cannot fail to benefit from the eminent collaborators [in this Companion].... Individual contributions have much for anyone keen to catch up." (Greece & Rome, 2008)

"It does provide readable, expert surveys of the rise of Roman power in the Mediterranean in the formative imperial era. In addition to chapters on political and social topics, this Companion offers fine surveys of topography, literature and literary sources, law, art and architecture, and Roman ′cultural identity.′...Highly recommended." ( Choice)

[Authors] do an excellent job of re–packaging Roman Republican history and I applaud their efforts to provide interesting debates within recent scholarship. ( New England Classical Journal)
