Roman Social Relations. 50 B.C. to A.D. 284. - MacMULLEN, R.,
KORTE INHOUD
'Studies such as this which embrace the whole of Roman society are only now coming to redress the heaviy aristocratic bias of past centuries of scholarship. The author is himself actuely aware of the difficulties of his task (p.IX). With evidence so patchy, imagination and modern parallels must inevitably be used to fill gasps - a dangerous pursuit, but one with rewards when, as here, the imagination is informed and a picture of considerable conviction results.' (MALCOLM A.R. COLLEDGE in The Classical Review (New Series), 1976, p.99).
