Reviews
A challenge to all readers to review their own assumptions. * Greece and Rome *
The volume deals with complex and current issues in an innovative way. Among its merits we ascribe the strongly interdisciplinary slant, the variety of fields of investigation and case studies, ... the rigorous methods that characterize the volume, like the rest of the series, and add a fundamental piece to the ever-expanding mosaic of studies on the subject. * Lexis (Bloomsbury Translation) *
This book's topic is an urgent one: how contemporary art links violence to antiquity as a way of legitimizing the portrayal - and sometimes celebration - of physical force. -- Thomas E. Jenkins, Professor of Classical Studies, Trinity University, USA
