Reviews

The collection is superbly edited ... Augoustakis (once again) deserves our gratitude for putting together an excellent and coherent set of papers that help the reader understand not only the Flavian poets' attitudes towards their Augustan predecessors but also to each other. Gary Vos, Classics for All

this is a well-thought collection, extremely useful for students and scholars, either as an introduction to Flavian studies or as a consultation volume for its variety of approaches and extensive bibliography. * Dalida Agri, Classical Journal Online * The collection is superbly edited ...

It will be an important addition to many Flavian scholars' bookshelves and will, hopefully, prompt a similar level of self-reflection with respect to the direction in which our own work is heading. * Claire Stocks, Hermathena *
