"It is...a pleasure to report on The Romans in the age of Augustus (63 BC to AD 14) inBlackwell's excellent series 'The Peoples of Europe'.This short overview, just under 170 pages long (plusendnotes, references and index), grew out of ANDREWLINTOTT's teaching at Oxford and the BritishSchool at Rome: it packs a tremendous amount ofinformation on the period with consummate ease."
