Inaddition to chapters on political and social topics, thisCompanion offers fine surveys of topography, literature andliterary sources, law, art and architecture, and Roman 'culturalidentity.'...Highly recommended."

(New England Classical Journal)"A Companion to the Roman Republic is a really exciting newresource. The contributors are individually heavy-hitters andcollectively form a first-rate international team. The work coversnot just the topics one would have counted on but other new onesthat deserve to become canonical. I'm happy that this work isnow available both for myself and for my students."
-Andrew M. Riggsby, University of Texas, Austin

"A comprehensive work ... It far outstrips any competitor inthis subject ... I only wish it had been available when I wasteaching the Late Republic."
-John Murrell, Journal of Classics Teaching

"A kaleidoscopic variety of points of views and insightfulcommentaries that finally does justice to the complexity of thesubject and of its possible interpretations, while always remainingreadable and clear."
