Su questo libro

Recensione:

Barrett is the right person to edit this collection: he is an accomplished biographer of early Roman imperial personalities .A time line, family trees, informative maps, a few significant illustrations, useful glossary, and an adequate index fortify the text. Recommended. ( Choice Reviews , October 2008) A great treat for those who already know the general outline of the history of the Roman Empire. Excellent writers [and] well–planned. A coherent unit.
