historians can learn a lot from this big slim volume * Uwe Walter, Historische Zeitschrift [translated] * The latest book by T.P. Wiseman is beautifully produced ... Wiseman writes with all his customary vigour ... Perhaps his most admirable characteristic as a scholar has always been his ability to imagine and to recreate lost worlds, and especially to inhabit fragmentary evidence in such a way that it takes on a practically living texture * Denis Feeney, Gnomon *
