Reviews

'Among those volumes known to the reviewer of the Translated Texts for Historians series this one is without a doubt amongst the best.' Raphael Brendel, Zeitschrift fur Geschichtswissenschaft Translated from German, 'Unter den dem Rezensenten bekannten nicht wenigen verdienstvollen Banden der Reihe Translated Texts for Historians gehoert dieser ohne Zweifel zu den besten.' 'Swain fulfilled the aim expressed in the introduction, making the volume an indispensable work for all those interested in the political history of the key transitional period of the 360s and 370s.' Simone Mehr, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 'This is a fantastic book that offers the reader an easy and yet detailed and erudite overview of the subtle chains of policy, obligation, and ambition that bound Themistius to Valens and Valens to Themistius... For anyone with an interest in Themistius, in Valens, or in the East Roman Empire in the mid fourth century, it is a must read.' Adrastos Omissi, Plekos
