Recenzje

The skeleton of the study is lexical, centred on four terms which denote (excessive) pride (arrogantia, fastus, insolentia, and superbia), and scrupulously constructed.... But the superstructure is a rich and elegant weave, as supple close readings are put to the service of a broad argument about Roman attitudes towards pride, and reasons for them.
