Rachel Feig Vishnia is Associate Professor in Ancient History at Tel Aviv University, Israel, and author of State, Society, and Popular Leaders in mid-Republican Rome, 241-167 B.C. (Routledge, 1996).

"Feig Vishnia has written a very useful book that will be consulted frequently by all students of Roman republican history...there is much of value here, and this book will doubtless (and rightly) find a permanent place in university reading lists for courses in ancient history." - Jeff Tatum (University of Wellington, New Zealand), The Classical Journal"Suited to graduate students and scholars from other fields who want to know about Rome's elections and can digest complicated information fast. The book is filled with information for this kind of reader and that is a worth contribution. As a guide to 'the nuts and bolts of Roman elections' for those outside the field, it does an excellent job." - James Tan, Bryn Mawr Classical Review"[Rachel Feig Vishnia] has set out to offer it as a handbook 'useful to both undergraduate and graduate students [and] to a wider readership' with an interest in 'Roman republican politics [and] elections' and their 'relevance for societies today' (p. ix). Through the format and organization of the book, and her style and content therein, she has largely succeeded in her goal."-Charles Matson Odahl, The Ancient World
