Book Description
A Companion to the Roman Empire provides readers with a guide both to Roman imperial history and to the field of Roman studies, taking account of the most recent discoveries.
"A very impressive collection indeed, summarising and building on the latest scholarship, especially the view that there is more to history than politics and the powerful." -- Journal of Classics Teaching
"This Companion to the Roman Empire provides a fascinating and scholarly insight into our ancient past. It is an ideal reference tool for students and scholars alike, presenting new methods and modes of study that should provoke thought among the readership. It also brings together many disciplines of study that allow scholars to study an Empire as vast and influential as that created by the Romans." -- Reference Reviews
"With a panoramic lens, more diverse and inclusive than any forerunner, this indispensable Companion probes the Roman empire for the 21st century. A tour de force certain to challenge and excite everyone engaged by Roman civilization." -- Richard Talbert, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
"An immensely rich and varied menu. This volume will not only be an invaluable vade mecum for scholars, students and all who have an interest in Roman imperial civilisation and its impact on the Mediterranean world and northern Europe, but will also reveal the wealth of evidence for Roman culture and the new and exciting ways in which historians can 'read' it." -- Alan Bowman, Oxford University
"David Potter has assembled a powerful team and together they have produced a rich collection - a major new synthesis of much of the most recent research in the discipline. No student or teacher could fail to learn from it." -- Greg Woolf, University of St. Andrews
"The thirty chapters in this latest title in Blackwell's excellent "Companions to the Ancient World" series are written by such experts in their fields as Maud Gleason, Juduth Evans Grubbs, Amy Richlin and Ann Hanson ... No comparable handbook exists ... Essential. All levels/libraries." -- Choice
"This elegantly and carefully edited book is a resounding success." -- Scholia Reviews
