Reviews

Well-argued and engaging
*Mary Beard, TLS*

If this book doesn't encourage a rebirth in interest in the Classics, nothing will.
*Contemporary Review*

Fascinating... It is learned but an easy read, a rare combination.
*Christopher Howse, Daily Telegraph on Memento Mori*

An often amusing, always illuminating, guide which offers an intriguing vantage point at which to examine Roman life.
*All About History on Memento Mori*
