‘This attractive and well produced volume consists of the main proceedings of a conference for teachers held at Sirmione in November 1993, along with lectures for the general public delivered during the ‘Giornate Catulliane’ arranged by the Assessore alla Cultura at that time. The result is a credit to all concerned.’ (T.P. WISEMAN in The Journal of Roman Studies, 1995, p.281). From the library of Prof. Carl Deroux.
