Reviews

Many of the topics are considered holistically and intertwine over several chapters, rendering the author's arguments more persuasive. The volume comes together to provide a vivid description of the mounting sophistication of Rome during the mid-Republican period. This is an excellent and ably presented book, balancing a wide-ranging approach with intricate detail. * Albert J. Nijboer, Antiquity * This book provides an interdisciplinary insight into Rome's mid-republican architecture, building technology, economic and socio-political history. * Niccolo Mugnai Classical Review *
