"The book, which presents the author's numerous preliminary studies as a unified concept, is an exciting and insightful read. It contains a clear and thoroughly argued thesis as well as diverse individual observations, which are not presented here in detail, but are all the more forcefully recommended for reading. It offers much material for discussion and will remain an important contribution to further research on Roman associations, but also on the religious history of the imperial period."
