Rezensionen

"As with the series, there is likely to be something for everyone in this book (although both viewer and reader may want more)." (Zentralblatt Math, 2010) "Due to the wide range of subject matter, nearly every serious fan of ancient Rome will find something that piques their interest, if not something they wish to share with their students. The clear prose of all the authors-there is no getting bogged down in excessive film criticism jargon-and the copious notes make this collection useful on its own or as a springboard for further investigations." ( The Classical Outlook , Spring 2009)
