From the big questions that it raises to the experiential details that it captures, the volume richly repays its readers for their imaginative journey through these ancient children's lives. - Sinclair Bell, Northern Illinois University, USA, 'Childhood in the Past' journal, 2017 The volume's emphasis upon childhood agency and intersectionality is an innovation found throughout this edited volume, although individual contributions also experiment with other new approaches to childhood studies ... Individual contributions would be appropriate for upper-level undergraduate teaching and certainly for graduate teaching and scholarship. The volume advocates forcefully for an agent-centered approach and, as such, represents a productive new direction for the study of children in antiquity. - Anna Lucille Boozer, Baruch College, City University of New York, USA, in the Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2017 Author InformationChristian Laes is an associate professor of ancient history and Latin at the University of Antwerp, Belgium, and an adjunct professor in ancient history at the history department of the University of Tampere, Finland.
