Epilogue
T. P. Wiseman is Emeritus Professor of Classics, University of Exeter.
This book is ground-breaking for its simple suggestion that the
ideology of Roman popular politics is not entirely lost to us, and
for its virtuoso demonstration that, fragmentary, inadequate and
intensively studied as our sources for the pe riod are, they may
still have more to tell us.
*Mary Beard, Times Literary Supplement*
a very interesting and important book
*M.G.L. Cooley, Journal of Classics Teaching*
All students of the Roman Republic will profit from the quality of
scholarship in this volume, as well as from the whole concept of
imagining a fresh perspective on a well-known historical
period.
*Harriet Flower, Journal of Roman Studies*
A book by Peter Wiseman promises a congenial blend of erudition and
provocation - and this one does not disappoint ... this is a
terrific book, not least because it exhibits a profound passion for
the facts of the past, and the truths they reveal.
*W. Jeffrey Tatum, Hermathena*
