John Drinkwater is Emeritus Professor of Classics at Nottingham University. A specialist on the early period of Empire, his publications include The Alamanni and Rome 213-416 (OUP).

By its size, this volume is obviously intended for libraries where it would be a valuable addition to any collection of works on the Empire... It is certainly well researched and well written... If one were only allowed one reference text on Rome's history, then it would have to be this one.
