Recenzje

'… this volume will be useful for scholars from many sub-fields looking to situate their work in the city's own history. … But the value of the large-scale urban biography model is precisely to make us think about patterns in the city's life over time. This book achieves its aims admirably, and will be valuable for students and researchers alike.' Amy Russell, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
