Zusatztext Santangelo's editorial work deserves to be singled out for special praise. One may justifiably say that his editorial contributions are the most useful aspect of this collection ... Most constructive, given the age of many of these pieces, are the annotated bibliographies Santangelo supplies for each chapter, which are conveniently printed at the end of the volume. The bibliographies provide not only a comprehensive list of the most important studies, but also serve to situate each contribution in its broader scholarly context. These have been compiled and executed with due care and attention. Patently this has been a labour of love for Santangelo, and his efforts demand our respect and gratitude ... all we need to know about the man whom Sir Fergus Millar once described as the greatest Roman historian of the 20th century.
