Recenzii

The whole book is impeccably presented, and all the essays are of casual interest.
`the whole collection is of the highest quality, very approachable, and constitutes an invaluable contribution to the long-overdue exploration of an important but neglected area'Greece & Rome Vol XXXVII No 1 Apr 1990
`Of the scholarly quality of these papers, selected from a series of Oxford seminars, the list of contributors is sufficient guarantee. They are besides pleasant to read, often witty ... attractive volume.'A.E. Douglas, University of Birmingham, Classical Review
`Nicely produced, with a briefly annotated bibliography and a helpful set of indices, the book contains plenty of things that have not been said before; saying them will save others the trouble of doing so'.Catherine Osborne, Journal of Roman Studies.
`This anthology contains a variety of fine papers.'Lee T. Pearcy, The Episcopal Academy, Merion, PA, Classical World
an admirable study which adds an extra dimension to our understanding of the continuing importance of philosophy and the Greeks in the ever-changing context of the Roman world.
