Reviews
A quirky, witty jaunt across the Roman world in the 2nd century -- Patrick Kidd * Times *
[Marcus Sidonius Falx is] a fascinating creation ... Here we have a chatty, persuasive, and even likeable voice guiding us through the minutiae of a morally repulsive institution * Times Literary Supplement *
Falx's text, illuminated by Toner's commentary, is by turns charming, haughty, and brutal * New Yorker *
Praise for Jerry Toner and Marcus Sidonius Falx: Thought-provoking and illuminating * FT *
Illuminating and packs a punch * Times Higher Education *
