Series Statement:
Routledge monographs in classical studies
Content:
"This collection of essays, written by philologists, historians, epigraphers, palaeographers, archaeologists, and art historians, brings together the best of old and new traditions of classical study, from senior emeritus faculty with established records of scholarly productivity, to the newest generation of classics and archaeology professors. The twenty-one essays included in this volume cover a wide range of subjects in Greek and Roman antiquity and its reception. While the topics may seem disparate and the authors' approaches and methodologies diverse, each paper offers something of a précis of the state of its subject at a transformative moment in the history of classical scholarship"--
