Editorial Reviews
Review
"[An] important book. . . . It underscores the need to look again at the history of Rome in the late Republic from more than a narrowly political point of view in order to help us understand better the transition to imperial autocracy."--A. J. Christopherson, "The Classical Journal
D. L. Stockton, Gnomon
"An important, informative, and exhaustive contribution to the study of the political history of the always exciting and intriguing last generation of the Roman Republic, which commands respect as much as it excites disagreement."
