'The volume is well produced and fully illustrated, with many colour images, and only a few typos and slips in the cross-references to the figures. The book will be of particular interest to scholars and research students interested in the Roman agricultural economy, the archaeology of Roman vici, and in details about the management of, and daily life on, an imperial estate.' – Annalisa Marzano (2023): Antiquity Vol. 97 (392)
