Rezensionen

'There can be no question about the standing of [Power's] scholarship and the contribution that he has made to Suetonian studies. Power is, I think, unique among modern Suetonians in that he works not just on the imperial Lives but on De viris illustribus and other "minor" works. His knowledge of Suetonian scholarship is encyclopaedic and it is demonstrated excellently throughout the work ... there is no likely competition to this volume from any living scholar.' - David Wardle, University of Cape Town, South Africa.
