Review 1 "I already know and respect Prof. Olsons work and I am delighted and excited to see that she has committed her expertise to a new volume on dress to compliment her excellent study of female clothing in Rome This is excellent. It is clearly the fruit of a long research project and draws on expertise and experience of working in the field for the last decade. Scholarship is up to date and vital." Review 2 "Currently there is no single monograph in English on the subject of Roman masculine dress. Olsons intention to discuss all masculine articles of dress and in relation to societal communication would provide new information and perspective while utilizing current scholarship." Review 3 "Kelly Olson provides us with the first full-length scholarly monograph on mens dress in Roman antiquity. Adding to the wealth of scholarship on how gender identity was constructed and maintained through bodily performances, Olson explains how masculine rank and status was constructed, maintained, and negotiated through dress. As a whole, this is a much needed volume that collects together the evidenceliterary and artisticon mens dress." Review 4 "The monograph makes a needed contribution to the study of Roman dress, and advances the study of Roman sexuality and masculinity." With her customary insight and remarkable clarity Kelly Olson, in her Masculinity and Dress in Roman Antiquity, offers a rich and fascinating exploration of a key aspect of the language of clothing in Classical antiquity. With an eye to unexpected ancient sources, and even to the bizarre, Olson explores what it meant to be a man in Roman society and how dress confirmed, stressed or undercut the core values of masculinity. Olson is a leading scholar of ancient dress studies and this latest work confirms her reputation for excellence. - Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, Professor of Ancient History, Cardiff University, UK
