Negative Positive
Title: Trying to be profound
Review: The authors, distinguished though they may be, either MUST have needed to write something for tenure-how else to explain this rather boring, mundane and academically correct (not a virtue) collection-or the publisher needed to fill space in its catalogue. There is simply too little actual fact and too much historiography. Stick to the great Caesar Augustus collection edited by Fergus Millar which covers much of the same ground, albeit with a slightly later time frame.
