Recenzje

'Throughout, the volume is impressively well illustrated. It is wide ranging, informative, challenging and thought provoking. It is one of the best edited volumes I have read for some time. While each paper has a specific aim, sight of the bigger picture and wider context is never lost. Moreover, the fact that the papers communicate with each other throughout the volume is indicative of both careful editing and collaborative participation by the contributors in the overall process. The success of this volume means that there is good scope to broaden the contributions to include extra-urban regions and more provinces in future endeavours.' Rebecca J. Sweetman, The Journal of Roman Studies
