Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Examining all aspects of Roman history and civilization from 509-49 BC., this Companion spans the development of the classic republican political system and the growth of a world empire. It also documents the ultimate disintegration of the system under the relentless pressure of internal dissension and the boundless ambition of leading politicians. Distinguished European and American scholars present a variety of current approaches towards understanding the political, military, and social aspects of Roman history, as well as its literary and visual culture. Review:'\"[This collection] will lend almost any reader an enhanced sense of the creativity, motility, ferment and diversity that currently mark the study of Ancient Rome.\" -Rory B. Egan, University of Manitoba\"Rolando Ferri\'s commentary on the Pseudo-Senecan Octavia strikes the reader with its overwhelming riches of philological information, its vast reading both of ancient poetry and modern scholarly work, and above all, its helpful explanations and sound hermeneutic judgement. It is difficult not to be enthusiastic about this brilliant work of learning, competence, and interpretive sensibility. To study this commentary is to learn not only about Octavia,/i>, but also about Senecan drama, Roman tragedy, Greek tragedy--their composition and technique, their style and meter.\" - Ernst A.
