Recenzje

'When reading Cicero, it is tempting to breeze through the quotations of poetry without dwelling too much: after reading this engaging and thought-provoking book, which will be of value to all those interested in Cicero and the intellectual culture of the late Roman republic, that will be hard to do.' Sean McConnell, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
