Reviews
'The style is lively, and the intended readership will no doubt benefit from this book.' L'Antiquit Classique, 'The work is particularly compelling for the discussion of the Republic and Late Empire … The clear and detailed accounts of all major Roman military campaigns … should assure this volume an enduring place in undergraduate libraries.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review, "Mackay has provided a valuable service by presenting an updated text focused on Rome's military and political history. For the general reader, the work as a whole provides a solid introduction. Mackay reminds us all of the value in focusing on military conflicts and governmental affairs, particularly for understanding the breakdown of the Republican system and the collapse of the western empire." Darryl A. Phillips, College of Charleston, South Carolina, BMCR, "Those interested in Roman history, especially of the empire, may wish to pick up the book. They will be rewarded by Mackay's chapteres on the later empire." - John D. Muccigrosso, Drew University, 'The work is particularly compelling for the discussion of the Republic and Late Empire ... The clear and detailed accounts of all major Roman military campaigns ... should assure this volume an enduring place in undergraduate libraries.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review, "Given both the enormous accidental loss of evidence and the obvious deliberate distortion in much that does survive, it is a welcome feature of Mackay's book that he prefaces each of its five chronological sections with a brief introduction of about three pages on the main sources for the period and the central problems in understanding it...he writes clearly and avoids rhetorical elaboration while the substance of his book is for the most part, sound, judicious, and accurate." - T.D. Barnes, 'The style is lively, and the intended readership will no doubt benefit from this book.' L'Antiquitè Classique, 'The work is particularly compelling for the discussion of the Republic and Late Empire ¿ The clear and detailed accounts of all major Roman military campaigns...should assure this volume an enduring place in undergraduate libraries.'
