Recenzje

In just 120 pages it is complete and accurate as a catalogue, and breaks new ground in a busy literature... this is an excellent, engaging book of high scholarship of the republican period... It will be of interest to anyone interested in Cicero's rhetoric, philosophy, or politics; scholars and students of the late republican era; and early modernists and comparativists interested in the use of body-political imagery in Latin speeches, poems, philosophica, and history of the 1st century BCE.
