Rezensionen

"The Companion is an important study that opens up new avenues for discussion and consideration, challenges what is currently perceived to be the approved wisdom on Roman architecture and encourages a new approach to understanding the material culture of a society that remains evident and influential in our own." (Reference Reviews, 1 October 2014)

"Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through graduate students." (Choice, 1 June 2013)
