'This volume is a model of its kind and handsomely produced, a worthy tribute to a pillar of Tacitean scholarship by learned colleagues from both sides of the Atlantic, who, as Syme would wish, have attempted 'not merely to register facts but to penetrate the recesses' (Syme, 'Tacitus', Oxford, 1958, II, p.520).'
