Rosario Moreno Soldevila, Bryn Mawr Classical Review '... welcome scholarly monography by Paula Hershkowitz ... has a firm grasp of the archaeological literature in Spanish and English and introduces English-speaking readers to a range of materials that they would otherwise be unlikely to know. The Spanish bibliography is extraordinarily rich and extensive, and Hershkowitz elegantly negotiates the two different scholarly worlds. Her work merits a place next to the useful volumes of Michael Kulikowski and Kim Bowes that will be well known to readers.' Plekos Author InformationPaula Hershkowitz is an independent scholar who gained a doctorate in late Roman history from Birkbeck, University of London.
