Duncan Fishwick, B.A. (Manchester), M.A. (Oxford), M.Phil. (Manchester), D.Litt. (Leiden), is Emeritus University Professor of Classics, University of Alberta. He has published extensively in various fields of Roman History, notably the Imperial Cult, including The Imperial Cult in the Latin West. Vols. I,1-2; II,1-2 (Brill, 1987-92).

"Fishwick's oeuvre is of such a consistently high quality that it is destined to join the ranks of the standard works on Roman social history. Its traditional approach and format are consistent with its function as an important reference. It will be an invaluable mine of ideas and information for future scholars. This volume, together with the whole series, is a very useful resource on the imperial cult that should be accessible to students of Roman history, especially graduate students." – Nayla Kabazi Muntasser, in: BMCR, 2006"F,s Studie ist anregend; vieles, was er in zahlreichen Aufsätzen erörtert hat, wird nochmals breit aufgearbeitet; die Quellen sind wie immer ausführlich diskutiert. Seine Feststellungen regen auf jeden Fall zu einer intensiven Auseinandersetzung an." – Mandred Clauss, in: KLIO, 2005
