Editorial Reviews
Review
"Liebeschuetz has produced a major monograph not just on the late-antique city but on the late-antique world.... The scale of the work and the vast amount of material covered make it a useful reference for anyone working on late antiquity.... It is a formidable work of enduring value and will long remain the reference point for further studies in the late-antique city."--Journal of Roman Archaeology
