"The book contains much that is useful and interesting about the
life of women in the Late Empire. The picture of [Galla Placidia]
that emerges is of a strong, determined and formidable woman who
was able to survive her ordeals and maintain focus upon ensuring
the right of her son to become western Emperor. For anyone wishing
to delve deeper into the life of women in Late Antiquity this is
compulsory reading." --UNRV.com
"A distinct, plausible, and thought-provoking portrait of a woman
who remains frustratingly beyond our reach."--Bryn Mawr Classical
