'… there is much to be learned from this book about a large number of areas in which the reader may not have expertise and, in those where his or her interests lie, it can be seen that it provokes reflection and thought.' Scripta Classica Israelica '… anyone interested in imperialism, the Roman military, Graeco-Roman racism, and the Roman Near East will find much of value in this book. It is one of the strengths of this collection and Isaac’s work in general that it provokes important reappraisals of fundamental aspects of the ancient Mediterranean world.' Conor Whately, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
