Specialists in Roman history will welcome this collection of thirty-one papers....A fascinating book to dip into, full of curious information. --The Historian<br> What sets [these papers] apart is the quality of thought, or argument, and the range of topics....Rawson had a talent for selecting topics difficult and fascinating--or perhaps it was her talent to turn the subjects she had selected into things fascinating to read. --Ploutarchos<br> Rawson's writing is dense, provocative, and highly interpretive, with all the rewards and risks such an entreprise entails. But enterprising she was, and the success of that enterprise is fully revealed in this fine collection, valuable indeed for all those interested in the development and charactization of the 'Roman' mentality. --History: Review of New Books<br> This collection contributes greatly to our understanding of an important historical period. It is a fitting tribute to the memory of an anima candida. --The Classical World<br>
