Editorial Reviews

‘... the core of Rudich's book consists of six thickly detailed chapters which cover the varied careers, experiences and fates of those who dissented under Nero. Many of these mini-biographies are finely drawn. Their strenght lies in a recognition of their subjects' humanity.' - Times Literary Supplement
