Index
Peter Liddel is Senior Lecturer in Ancient History at the University of Manchester. Polly Low is Senior Lecturer in Ancient History at the University of Manchester.
Peter Liddel and Polly Low have done us all a great service by
assembling this extremely useful and well-produced volume of essays
... The volume should become the standard handbook on the subject,
and one can only hope that it will be regularly updated. It is
difficult to offer anything other than praise for this
collection.
