[T]his well-produced volume offers ample evidence of the continuing vitality of research into the various literary cultures of the second and third centuries. The 'double vision' of the title represents not a blurring of focus, but a multiplicity of perspectives on life as a Roman Greek-or a Greek Roman-in the Imperial period.
