'Classicist Mary Beard has had a great time rooting about that ghostly place and she has brought it quite splendidly back to life' Nicholas Bagnall, Sunday Telegraph

'Very readable and excellently researched… Beard's clear-sighted and accessible style makes this a compelling look into history' Alexander Larman, Observer
