Editorial Reviews
Review
The early history of Rome was a construct, of which the writer made what he would, or wished to. So also, for us, as this book so plentifully and interestingly demonstrates, is the Augustan monarchy. -- Classical Review
From the Inside Flap
" A balanced, high-quality analysis of the developing nature of Athenian political society and its relationship to 'democracy' as a timeless concept."--Mark Munn, author of The School of History: Athens in the Age of Socrates
