Rezensionen

'This will be an extremely useful book for teachers and students taking courses about Roman women.' - David Noy, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

'One of the many strengths of this insightful, readable work is that Treggiari is not unduly anxious about balancing Cicero's voice against speculative reconstructions of his womenfolk's point of view' - Emily Wilson, Times Literary Supplement
