He would apparently accept this explanation for Theocritean bucolic. Otherwise he does not try to explain; he is content to collect, classify, and analyse the relevant material. The material is in itself interesting, and he has handled it carefully, and, at least so far as the Greek writers are concerned. thoroughly. (M.L.

'Every schoolboy knows that the Western Roman Empire came to an end with the deposition of Romulus Augustus by Odoacer in 476. Contemporaries of this epoch-making event were less sure about it. (...) Dr. Wes, in a book marked equally by widt of range and depth of penetration, re-examines the dossier of the case. (...) chronological arguments form the central core of Wes's book; as he points out himself, they depend in part on unproved hypothes. Around these problems of dating and attribution he has built up a detialed and well-argues picture of the changing political views of the various groups of the Roman aristocracy. (...) This is a fascinating and thought-provoking book. Not all Wes's propositions are equally convincing, But they all demand serious reconsideration. And they centre round a problem far more important than the relations of Marcellinus,Jordanes, Cassiodorus, and Symmachus - that of the beginning of the Middle Ages in Western Europe.'
