Recenzje

'Afterlives of Augustus, AD 14–2014 is a very attentively produced book … I can therefore heartily recommend the volume to anyone interested in the figure of Augustus himself and his reception, or in the development of the field of classical reception studies more generally.' William M. Barton, International Journal of the Classical Tradition
