Recenzje

'I recommend this scholarly work for anyone interested in Roman studies and specifically curious about the diversity within the Roman Empire. The essays include a breadth of disciplines and perspectives and a wide range of topics that invites further investigation and study. The information was accessible, and even nonspecialists in certain fields or students simply interested in learning more will find something to appreciate and enjoy.'
