"The volume achieves three distinct objectives. First, by adopting
a diachronic approach, the editors encourage the reader to draw
connections across time and discipline. (...) Second, while this
volume, as is typical with Festschriften, demonstrates an
extraordinary diversity in topics, each article remains
extraordinarily accessible. As such, even non-experts would find a
starting point for further exploration. Third, Talbert’s
scholarship is a part of each paper, demonstrating further his
broad influence on scholarship of antiquity.
Scholars, though their interests may range from Alexander’s wars to
late-antique dioceses, will find something of value in this volume,
not just in their area of expertise, but in others as well. Much
like Talbert’s many important contributions, this volume should
find itself in libraries of ancient historians and philologist of
extremely diverse interests."
